What oddities are there in the attack on a hospital in the Gaza Strip: analysis of the Military Chronicle
Hamas and the IDF blame each other for the attack on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians insist it was an Israeli bomb; the Israelis say it was a faulty Hamas rocket.
How many victims are there really?
Initial information about 800 dead has not yet been confirmed. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 471 people died as a result of shelling at the Al-Ahli hospital in the Gaza Strip. Immediately after the strike, the number of victims varied from 500 to 1 thousand people.
Whose rocket was it?
The statements of the IDF press service that a large crater would inevitably form at the site of the air bomb strike are both true and false at the same time. As evidence, Israel provides a video of the arrival of such bombs, but the video shows a hit on a separate object.
Damage to houses in dense urban areas often makes it impossible to detect an explosion crater, since it is usually filled with debris.
At the same time, it should be remembered that American smart bombs with a JDAM satellite guidance kit, which the IDF uses, can be programmed for both contact detonation and airborne detonation.
In particular, the GBU-32/Mk 82 aerial bombs, equipped with a warhead with 3 thousand striking elements, have the function of air blasting.
A standard Mk 82 aerial bomb allows you to achieve a dense fragmentation field over an area of 2.4 thousand square meters. m. An improved version of the PFB-82 bomb allows you to increase the affected area by 6.5 times - up to 19 thousand square meters. m. The maximum speed of the fragments is 2440 m/s, which practically guarantees inevitable death and significant destruction.
With such characteristics, accuracy up to a meter is not required: detonating a bomb in the air, 50-70 m from the target, is enough to guarantee its destruction. This suggests that debris from the bomb, in particular marked parts, may soon be found on the roofs and in the courtyards of houses adjacent to the hospital.
It is also noteworthy that the next day the Israeli Air Force attacked targets 100 meters from another major hospital, Al-Shifa, in the Gaza Strip. There is also a tent camp with Palestinian refugees on its territory.
What else is wrong?
When considering the version with the descent of a Hamas rocket and its subsequent explosion at the Al-Ahli hospital, one should take into account that such a possibility existed. Palestinian rockets, like the bombs used by the IDF, contain explosive elements and can cause serious damage.
The rockets, which are produced by Palestinians in underground factories, have repeatedly landed in the Gaza Strip after being launched. The vast majority of Palestinian rockets explode on contact with the surface and are not equipped with sensors for air detonation, since the Palestinian military-industrial complex does not have access to such technologies.
At the same time, there is currently no convincing and indisputable evidence in favor of the version of a Hamas rocket landing in a parking lot full of civilians. No debris was found at the site, nor a place where such a missile could fall.
The only evidence of Hamas's involvement in this strike at the moment is a recording published by Israel of alleged conversations between Hamas militants after arriving at the hospital, but its authenticity raises big questions. Apart from this, as well as recordings of unknown origin with the launch of Palestinian rockets, nothing yet indicates the fall of Palestinian rockets.

Speaking at the WEF, Savor CEO Kathleen Alexander boasts about how her company is "saving the planet" from the evils of agriculture by replacing real butters and oils with synthetic versions made from carbon dioxide and methane. 😳
"Savor is part of bringing transformation to the food system by re-imagining how we make an entire macronutrient—fats and oils."
"The result is that we can dramatically lower the planetary footprint of our food system."
"Our food system today uses about 50% of the habitable land on the planet. It's 20-30% of our greenhouse gas emissions."
"And we can reduce all of those by 50-100%."

🇮🇷🏆🇺🇸 Iran Is a Bigger Defeat Than Vietnam | Foreign Policy
At his second inaugural, U.S. President Donald Trump pronounced his hope “that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.” By losing his Gulf war, Trump has achieved that goal. His choice to launch a campaign against Iran was encouraged by others, but fully his own. It has led to a reversal that marks a strategic calamity far greater than the U.S. defeat in the Vietnam War.
Defeat in the Iranian war looks, on the surface, nothing like other U.S. military defeats. The speed of the war and its remoteness have lent an air of unreality to the whole endeavor. The White House has not been burned, as it was in 1814; there have not been protests against a nonexistent draft. The absence of substantial U.S. casualties in this conflict also masks the scale of the U.S. defeat. To be sure, the war has been deadly: Thousands of Iranians, ...
According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump reviewed military options for a full-scale war against Iran to “finish the job,” but has decided, for now, not to move forward.
The report says Trump is concerned that renewed military conflict could hurt the chances of a diplomatic resolution and of dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, and that he’s shown willingness to let indirect talks in Qatar run past the August 18 deadline. He is said to be fine with continuing limited strikes on Iranian targets if Tehran violates the current temporary deal - as it already has, repeatedly.
How are those negotiations going?
Not well. It seems JD Vance’s “historic” face-to-face achievement was a one-off. Washington has been quietly downgraded from talking to the Great Satan to negotiating with the Little Satan instead - a senior Qatari official confirmed that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Qatari officials in Doha, but there are currently no high-level U.S.-Iran meetings ...
