Help Israel achieve what exactly? Bomb more hospitals?
Edit: sorry guys it looks like a bomb just so happened to hit a hospital just out of sheer luck 🥴 and Israel (who has been bombing Gaza ever since I was born basically) did not bomb Gaza. What really happened was that Bush did 9/11.

It has link to video, which I recommend to watch. It show a rocket breaking over the hospital and then explosion. This is Arab source.
Al Jazeera is disagreeing and stating that it’s Israel. Sorry, Israel has the onus to disprove the claims considering they’ve bombed hospitals in the past.

That's untrue as far as I can see. You linked to a live blog, nowhere on that page currently did it mention the al-ahi hospital story, I scrolled down quite a ways. There was an article in the opinion section by someone unaffiliated with Al Jazeera maybe you're referencing?
From Al Jazeera itself most up to date story on it I can find is this article, where both versions of the stories are stated and Al Jazeera continues to say it cannot independently verify either account.

See other comments.
Even Al Jazeera's footage shows that was a misfire from Gaza. That's what happens when you make rockets out of water pipes.
No it doesn’t.

That link doesn't seem to have anything about the hospital?
I'm talking about this live footage from Al-Jazeera in Gaza. Here's the same rocket apparently recorded by the IDF.
GeoConfirmed agrees.
It landed in the parking lot btw, not the hospital. The '500 casualties' count from Hamas is obviously false then.
Scroll down. They are literally saying the opposite. Look at the post made at 0300 GMT. Your links are coming straight from Israel, and all we have is a video in the arabic Al Jazeera clip. There is no explicit confirmation. We don’t also have an official confirmation from any 3rd party neutral investigation outside of the “US intelligence” stating that this is a Hamas rocket.
Oh and don’t forget about the deleted IDF tweets. Omission of truth doesn’t mean something didn’t happen. :-)
And while you’re at it, take a peek at the rest of the feed and see how Palestinians are getting killed.
Quote from Al Jazeera stating the exact opposite.
“This really does fit perfectly into a pattern of Israeli war crimes in which they have bombed civilian infrastructure and residential areas and schools and hospitals.
One campaign against Gaza after the other they’ve done the same: In 2014, they did the same in 2008 and 2009. So it would be nothing new here except the particular death toll.
The scale of it, in this particular strike, seems to be much more significant than any previous strike. But the action itself is unsurprising.
We’ve had human rights organisations documenting in the past indiscriminate killings and Israeli bombings of civilian areas and, most critically, we’ve seen time and again the Israeli government simply lie about responsibility for its crimes.
And deflections – trying to blame Palestinians – as recently as last year with the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, where Israel tried to pin it on the Palestinians but it turned out to, obviously, be Israel.”
Why? Israel should let members of the International community, particularly, the ICC in so that they can investigate this and other war crimes being reported by news agencies and the Palestinian authorities.
Did you even look through the feed that I posted as part of my previous comment? If you have and yet you still claim that IDF isn’t capable of such atrocities, you’re being willfully ignorant. Or should I remind you that Palestinians are running out of water because Israel though it would be a good idea to besiege Gaza and collectively punish everybody there.

Haven't looked at the news lately?
I was going to actually reply to you but you are just a fucking troll who thinks criticizing anything Israel does is blaming shit on Jews and whoever speaks against Israel is an anti-semite. Just FYI you are not helping anyone by just calling people antisemitic for being outraged about war crimes.
US Senators just got their intelligence briefing on the hospital bombing and reported it was their belief it wasn't Israel. Bit you go ahead and bad mouth me for not agreeing with you.
The US federal government has never lied about anything ever.
