Video of the aftermath. It's horrific. ~500 is accurate. When half of them are children it doesn't take up as much space as you think.

spoilerSeriously, don't click unless you're ok seeing a lot of dead kids https://twitter.com/LocalFocus1/status/1714340397298733479

Right, so, this video is addressed in the article:

A video posted on Twitter on Tuesday night showed a grassy area adjacent to the hospital covered with dead bodies. At least two dozen bodies are visible in this video. Bellingcat is not linking to the video due to its graphic nature.

Did you read the article?

Not to quibble, but two dozen != 500. The difference is significant because of the effect it has had on reporting on the incident.

I'd understand if you tried defending 50, but 500?

500 shows such bad faith, get real.

It's one thing to argue who did it because none of us are sure and "evidence" points in both directions but y'all are fucking monsters if you're going to try and downplay the scale of the violence with absolutely no evidence.

Almost as monstrous as using large, vague numbers with absolutely no evidence?

Ohh yeah the doctors on location picking up body parts everywhere def have no evidence.

The video is horrific indeed - but fortunately (!) way less than than the first reported amount of people died. It is hard to really count but in the video itself it seem that less than 50 dead are shown. We don’t know if every casualty was filmed though.

The tweet itself still blames Israel for this, so the source doesn’t even pretend to be neutral/news.
