PARIS – An assessment by French military intelligence indicates the most likely cause of the deadly explosion at Gaza City’s al-Ahli hospital was a Palestinian rocket that carried an explosive charge of about 5 kilograms and possibly misfired, a senior French military official said Friday.
The size of the blast crater in a courtyard of the hospital was assessed by French military intelligence to be about 1 meter long, 75 centimeters across and about 30 to 40 centimeters deep. The death toll remains in dispute. Within just over an hour of the blast, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said 500 had died. It then revised that number slightly to 471 on Wednesday, without giving details of the dead. The Israeli military told reporters that number was inflated.
A United States intelligency report estimated that somewhere between 100 and 300 Palestinians were likely killed.
