Palestinians are exhuming bodies from a known graveyard at the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza. Al Jazeera's claim that the Israeli military buried 180 bodies in a mass grave is disinformation. The graves were at least partially dug by Palestinians, but it is possible that graves were added during the Israeli occupation. Hospitals likely buried the deceased on their own grounds due to safety concerns. The focus should be on the tragedy of the hundreds of people who died and are buried there. A neutral investigation is needed, with access to the site granted by both parties involved.

GeoConfirmed ISR-PAL Investigation. Palestinians are exhuming bodies from the grounds of the Nasser Medical Complex hospital complex in Khan Younis, Gaza. This is occurring at the same location where mass graves were dug and burial ceremonies had taken place by Palestinians in recent months. (Proof in this thread) Footage from Palestinians digging graves/mass graves dated 25 January, 28 January and 03 February while IDF entered the hospital around 15 February. Quote from https://aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/21/nearly-200-bodies-found-in-mass-grave-at-hospital-in-gazas-khan-younis “In the hospital courtyard, civil defence members and paramedics have retrieved 180 bodies buried in this mass grave by the Israeli military." (By Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud) Conclusion: This is disinformation by Al Jazeera and others: This is a known graveyard/mass grave and at least partially dug by Palestinians. This does not exclude that graves could have been added when the hospital was occupied by Israeli forces.

Nearly 200 bodies found in mass grave at hospital in Gaza’s Khan Younis Palestinian authorities say 180 bodies recovered from Nasser Medical Complex so far as Israel continues attacks on Gaza. aljazeera.com

Conclusion: Claiming that 180 bodies were buried in a mass grave "by IDF" is disinformation, by Al Jazeera and others. This is a known graveyard/mass grave and at least partially dug by Palestinians. This does not exclude that graves could have been added when the hospital was occupied by Israeli forces. Remark: It is highly likely that hospitals were forced to bury the deceased on their own grounds or in nearby areas due to safety concerns around transporting the bodies to a formal graveyard. For example, in a video from Nasser hospital, people mention that the facility was under siege, indicating they were unable to take the deceased to a graveyard and had to bury them on the hospital premises. According to Islamic funeral customs, Muslims are typically expected to be buried as soon as possible after death, often within 24 hours. This helps explain why the hospitals opted to conduct burials on their own grounds, with the intention of providing a proper funeral at a later, safer time. Reburial is a known practice in conflict situations. Overall, the decision to bury the deceased on hospital grounds or nearby areas was likely a pragmatic one driven by safety and religious burial practices, rather than any malicious intent. 20/20

Reminder: in this thread we only proof that these mass graves existed before, just as the graveyards, and were at-least partially dug by Palestinians. While the initial reporting spoke about "new mass graves" and people "buried in this mass grave by the Israeli military" with accompanying footage... while that footage taken was at the location of known mass graves. I feel sorry for the fact that we are discussing now about how people should report... instead of making assumptions and unproven claims they should stick to facts. All this while we should be talking about the important issue: Hundreds of people died and are buried at this place. This is - and always will be - horrible.

@GeoConfirmed - GeoConfirmed

GeoConfirmed ISR -PAL. 'Mass grave' Investigation Update. At this moment we are gathering footage and statements made between January and now about the Nasser hospital. Based on the analysis of this footage we will decide if an update is needed. New footage and statements gathered include: More video's that Palestinians had to make a temporary cemetery, including mass graves, in January as a result of the siege because it was unsafe to conduct a proper burial. (Included in our first investigation) with even the Ministry of Health (MOH) communicating about 180 that need to be burred. Another video made by a journalist on the site (published 29th of February) showing the cemetery ("south") that was ran over by bulldozers. 1. IDF did not respect the graves as claimed by them. 2. Palestinians knew -and had access to- this site from at least the end of February. Another video shows that Palestinians aid workers are retrieving some of the bodies in march. Also a statement was made by UNOCHA during this time: On the 17th of March WHO, UNRWA, UNMAS and UNOCHA conducted a mission to provide 10,000 litres of fuel to Nasser hospital, and conducted a rapid needs assessment of the hospital (WASH and health equipment). Another post by a Palestinian journalist (with almost 250.000 followers) on 21st of April stating that: - the cemetery was created during the siege (February), 400 (!) people were buried there and it is not new information. - Israel disgraced the cemetery by running over it with bulldozers. This does not exclude that bodies could be added during Israeli occupation in February nor does this exclude that Palestinians or IDF added more graves/bodies after the Israeli occupation. (For example cemetery north of the road that was made after the Israeli occupation of the hospital) Based on all the footage and statements we gathered it seems that both involved parties seem to misinform people and a neutral investigation is needed. This requires access to the site for international investigators, given by BOTH involved parties. We will look further into the dozens of pictures, video's and communications we gathered and decide if a second investigation thread is needed. Thx to @MiddleEastBuka, @TwistyCB and @GeoRaccoon for their work.

Based on investigations by @fdov21, @OAlexanderDK, and @ArchieIrving2, it is likely that the missile in the Al Jazeera footage is an interceptor (Iron Dome). The explosion, too far from the hospital, is unrelated. Questions remain about rocket trajectory, debris, and the possibility of another rocket. Crater analysis is challenging, and failed rocket launch is still plausible. The initial communication by Palestinian authorities may have been wrong. The OSINT community and journalists have done commendable work.

A missile launched by Palestinian groups exploded mid-air, with a piece falling on Al-Ahli Arab Hospital. Independent geolocation confirms this. The footage shows the rocket failing and breaking into two pieces. The rocket was likely launched from a cemetery behind the hospital. The explosions occurred in the middle of the rocket, with the warhead flying towards the hospital and the engine/booster falling to the left. The impact point does not match the bombs used in JDAMs. Further investigations are needed for conclusive evidence.

"Islamic Jihad denied that any of its rockets were involved in the hospital blast, saying it did not have any activity in or around Gaza City at that time" note: A rocket barrage was launched (end of video) but maybe not by Islamic Jihad.

Important note: Our conclusions are based on our geolocations: That doesn't mean that they are THE truth, just what we think is highly likely based on our geolocations(facts) and logic/reason. We are geolocators, not official investigators. Do not take this conclusion as proven fact! To be sure what really happened different official investigations are needed. 17/X

About the 'JDAM' claim: The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a guidance tail kit that converts existing unguided free-fall bombs into accurate, adverse weather "smart" munitions. So the whole 'listen to the sound' comparison is irrelevant. Because every JDAM could have another bomb and every bomb has his own sound. (Based on weather, humidity, wind, environment, ...) It's impossible to compare. More information: https://www.military.com/equipment/joint-direct-attack-munition-jdam "JDAM claim"= 19/X

A few hours later... A lot of people don't seem to understand how OSint works. So little reminder: OpenSource/OSint based conclusions are based on Open Source information that is provided/found at that specific time. The facts matter. After the publication of this thread new information was brought to our attention: we are looking into this new information. If needed we adapt/update or even delete and restart our thread. FACTS matter. Ah yes: We never had more death threats than the ones in the last 8 hours. Ask yourself the question before believing any of the different involved parties: What have i seen for evidence that it was A or B that is responsible or do I just believe immediatly what one of the parties is claiming because it fits what i want to believe... 21/X

IDF published footage, from the location of the hospital, showing burned out cars. This location matches with the fires visible in other footage. https://t.co/TzxD4wAVkd 22/X

We were working on the same questions as @Nrg8000 and he did a great job so we are just sharing his thread. 1. The damage in aftermath videos doesn't lookt to concur with airstrike aftermath. (UAV footage from IDF and video's from the scene itself). 2. Based on the same footage: How can this result in the claimed 500+ killed? Read his thread 👇 https://t.co/zlWRkE6MgT 23/X

After looking to all the footage again, based on your feedback, we discovered some more interesting elements. Lets review the initial footage of the strike step by step again. We will reupload the video to make sure he isn't deleted. You can decide for yourself. 26/X https://t.co/fPVhDMVps2

The first three seconds gives us a possible roughly direction of launch. (Not a location, because it's difficult to estimate the distance) 27/X https://t.co/LxlIIxUwAz

@GeoConfirmed - GeoConfirmed

Here you see the roughly direction, but a launch is more curved. So it should be on the left of the arrow. Rocket is flying to the left of the hospital. So how would it be able to hit the hospital? This we will answer in a few tweets. 28/X https://t.co/p3erTjn5yL

IDF released this footage. Important for us is this quote: "They shot it from the cemetery behind the hospital" https://t.co/hGUv0elWLO 29/X

What is in the direction of our arrow drawn to the potential launch direction: The big cemetery next to hospital. 30/X https://t.co/XLSqm5BizY

But how is it possible that the rocket fell on the hospital, while it 'passed' its lateral direction. Let's look to the remaining footage. At 00:05 a little flash is visible, changing the direction of the rocket. Interception by Iron Dome should be a proper explosion. 31/X https://t.co/c8gWOKE7fw

@GeoConfirmed - GeoConfirmed

At 00:07 a second flash is visible, changing the direction again. The rocket is now flying back to the right from POV. "returning" The POV seems to be staying the same and the camera footage doesn't seems to be cut. The flashes are possibly the result of rocket failure. 32/X https://t.co/XT6bJwgnL6

@GeoConfirmed - GeoConfirmed

00:10 The camera never changed nor is there any interruption in the footage, but the rocket is now flying to the right. Camera is zoomed in resulting in a brighter view. 33/X https://t.co/45MSAxb6ie

00:10 - Rocket 'explodes' 34/X https://t.co/hPdmOj50ne

@GeoConfirmed - GeoConfirmed

00:10 - Directly after the explosion you see that the explosion occurred in the middle of the rocket. You see the warhead and booster?/engine? separation. 35/X https://t.co/KSS5DCBqhN

@GeoConfirmed - GeoConfirmed

00:11 - The warhead is flying ‘to the right’ from the POV → in the lateral direction of the hospital. While the Engine/Booster is falling down. This would mean that the Engine/booster would hit the ground first on the left of where the warhead would land. 36/X https://t.co/r26ILSz5Mm

00:16 - First explosion, left of the future right explosion, 6 seconds after separation. = possible Engine?/Booster? hit the ground? 37/X https://t.co/nknubmPloX

01:29 - Camera pans out to film another rocket barrage.

More info: "As noted by Marc Garlasco, a Military Advisor at PAX for Peace’s Protection of Civilians team, the impact point does not appear to be consistent with the 500, 1000 or 2000-pound bombs used in Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs)" https://t.co/wmE2X6YR78 40/X
