Hagari alleged that Hamas had understood it was an Islamic Jihad rocket but "decided to launch a global media campaign to hide what really happened," saying it "went as far as inflating the numbers of casualties."
The spokesperson also said that there was no "direct hit to the hospital," adding that "the only location damage is outside the hospital in the parking lot, where we can see signs of burning...no cratering and no structural damage to nearby buildings, as opposed to any aerial munition which would have been of different nature."
"We would have seen craters and structural damage to the buildings, both of which haven't been identified in this incident. The size of the damage we see here is due to the warhead of the Islamic Jihad rocket, but most of the rocket's propellant is still evident due to the short flight of the rocket because the launch failed."
Hagari said elsewhere that no such Israeli attacks occurred "next to the hospital" at this time, nor did the damage "fit any ammunition with the air force," saying in a briefing that it was common "for rockets that are fired at Israel to land short and fall inside Gaza."
"During this war, we have counted approximately 450 rockets that misfired and fell inside Gaza," he added.
The IDF released audio which it claims is of a conversation between Hamas militants realizing that the explosion was caused by the "Palestinian Islamic Jihad."
