An Israeli military spokesman has said that a stream of rocket misfires by Hamas and Islamic Jihad have killed hundreds throughout Gaza since the war between Israel and Hamas began earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Daniel Hagari said on Saturday: \u201cThey are killing their own people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hagari said that one-fifth of rockets fired by Hamas and Islamic Jihad have missed intended targets and killed civilians in Gaza.<\/p>\n
That number amounts to more than 550 rockets misfired, he said.<\/p>\n
This comes roughly four days after the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City was struck by a misfired rocket on Tuesday, leaving hundreds dead.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hamas immediately claimed the hospital was attacked by an Israeli airstrike, but Israel has provided evidence that it was hit by an errant missile launched by terrorists in Gaza.<\/p>\n
A video that has gone viral on social media appears to show the missile striking a nearby parking lot to the hospital, leading to many conflicting claims of who was responsible, where the missile struck, and how many people died.<\/p>\n
After an investigation, Israel said the rocket was misfired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a foreign terrorist organization backed by Iran.<\/p>\n
IDF officials said: \u201cAn analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit.<\/p>\n
\u201cIntelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During his trip to Israel on Wednesday, President Biden confirmed that the Pentagon supported Israel\u2019s assertion that the rocket originated in Gaza.<\/p>\n
According to Joe Truzman, a research analyst for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies\u2019 Long War Journal, the string of misfires is a result of \u201cHamas and other groups like Islamic Jihad\u201d having to \u201cmake do with the material they have,\u201d he told Fox News.<\/p>\n
Truzman added: \u201cIran is the chief supporter of several Palestinian armed groups, including other bad actors across the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe regime in Iran funds, arms, and supports its network of proxies and clients. The caveat with Palestinian groups in Gaza and the West Bank is that Iran is not able to transfer advanced weapons without the Israelis thwarting it.”<\/p>\n
