A Channel 4 News investigation also confirms that Israel's audio tape of “Hamas operatives discussing the rocket malfunction" is a fake with their experts saying that the tone, syntax, accent and idiom sound absurd and not credible: https://www.channel4.com/news/who-was-behind-the-gaza-hospital-blast-visual-investigation

This would also not be the first time that the Israeli government has lied about "misfired Palestinian rockets": https://mondoweiss.net/2022/08/after-initially-blaming-palestinians-israel-admits-to-airstrike-that-killed-5-children-in-gaza/

The Israeli army has been trying to prevent international journalists and independent bodies from entering Gaza to act as independent investigators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60EK-3-kGLI

This video analysis seems pretty definitive.

Not that I believed the propaganda at any point, but yesterday morning I was feeling a bit unsure about having definitive thoughts on this, given my expectations initially about what an area hit by a missile would look like.

So I think today we’ll see the tide turn against the propaganda similar to how it did with the beheaded babies. But with this, Genocide Joe has already doubled and tripled down on his position, so now it’s gonna be what Americans believe (because a lot of them want to believe it). “Chinese spy balloon” all over again.

This is how it always goes. Israel does something, blames Hamas, then when it becomes indisputable that it was Israel, they fall back on the "human shields" propaganda, but the story leaves the news cycle before that can be refuted.
