Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

MODERATORS
Will there be proportional outcries for the loss of these civilians by the Israeli apologists?
Of course not.
I'm also sure this will totally not make more terrorists out of the surviving family members...
Video seems to suggest it was a car bomb, so Hamas blowing up their own people.
Again.

EDIT: Does Israel even have munitions that small? It looks like a gas tank exploding not a high explosive.
Upvoted, thanks for keeping me grounded. That's compelling. As much blame as I give Israel in all this I don't see that being an air strike after watching countless videos from Ukraine. I think Israel does have low-yield bombs, considering their "roof knockers," and this could be secondary (eg, someone hauling gas/propane.)
Nevertheless I agree Hamas has more to gain in framing Israel here.
Yea, looking at the video again, I think you may be right. It looks too “Hollywood” with the giant fireball. Maybe just a propane tank exploded igniting the contents of the gas tank. Hamas may not have done anything, heard there was an explosion and blamed Israel when the fault could just be poorly maintained equipment.
So all three of you are more knowledgable about missiles and what they look like in video vs the BBC, who has decades of experience in verifying missile strikes?
Sorry ... I'm with the BBC here.
Link to exactly where the BBC calls it an Israeli air strike.
All I’m seeing is “women and children dead in strike” so if you’re seeing it, they walked it back.
BBC News statement.
I'll answer your question as soon as you verify your expertise in questioning the BBC calling it a missile strike vs you saying it was a car bomb.
No. You made the claim BBC called it a missile strike. I provided a source (with video) calling it a Vehicle Based Improvised Explosive Device. I don’t need to be the expertise, the OSINT community provided my argument. Provide yours.
I don't see your source listed.
Here's mine ...
The Guardian calls it a missile strike.
The BBC confirms a strike on the convoy that killed women and children.
The WSJ confirms an airstrike hit the convoy.
The Business Standard reports a strike on the convoy.
Not saying you're wrong. But WSJ does NOT confirm it. WSJ just says that's the claim. It's very specific wording.
So your only source is The Guardian.
Found the Hamas apologist. God damn terrorists and their shitty pr campaigns.
Hamas is killing Gazans whether by force or by the lies they tell them.
This stops when Hamas has been eliminated. The Palestinian people will be free when Hamas is eliminated.
Even if Hamas killed these 70 people (which I doubt), who killed the other 2200 in Gaza?
The video is now gone. So what was it?
