    For those peddling the idea that Israel wasn't behind the rocket strike on the Gaza hospital, all of the following would need to be true:

    1. Palestinian groups have managed to bypass Israel's siege and get their hands on very hi-tech weapons completely undetected by Israel.

    2. They had decided not to use those weapons until last night.

    3. The first time they tried to use such a weapon, it misfired and just happened to land on a hospital.

    4. Israel's attack on the same hospital a couple of days earlier, warning that it must be evacuated, was purely coincidental.

    When the BBC asked experts to comment, most "were not willing to put forward a view on what happened."

    Given the likely career consequences were they not to find a Palestinian group responsible, one can understand their reticence.
