The bombing of the Gaza hospital - analysis

Based on my many years of work in the defence industry (weapons systems analyst) IMO this attack was of a high subsonic / transonic air-launched guided bomb - NOT the effect of falling debris from a HAMAS rocket. The absence of a significant crater and huge number of casualties indicates use of an anti-personnel air-burst (ground proximity) munition - e.g a Rafael 'Spice' 1000 fitted with a fragmentation warhead. By comparison the May 2021 bombing of the Al-Sharouk Tower (residential / media broadcast centre) appears to have been by two bombs of the type Rafael 'Spice' as carried by Israeli F16 (albeit, in this attack, armed with ground-penetrator warheads with delayed fusing). However, note the similarity of the ballistic noise from those two attacks.
