Are they claiming the opposite direction? The graphic is REALLY confusing with the blue line having directionality but the red cone not.
And my point is to not distrust them. There is no reason not to. My point is more to understand where they are coming from. They likely have far fewer government contacts than a lot of media outlets (which is good when you want an impartial org) so can only base things off of “public” information rather than “So Fred at the CIA totally didn’t tell me that they have footage saying it was aliens”. And, universities tend to have a lot of “We just report the facts” without understanding that people don’t know how to interpret the facts.
And the other aspect is just that… True Crime and the ninety bajillion NCIS spinoffs have really warped people’s minds. The reality is that there are going to be a LOT of discrepancies in any investigation. For all we knowm the shell/small rocket impacted next to a small dumpster that was vaporized in the explosion but still heavily impacted the directionality of the crater. Or the rocket tumbled or spiraled on its way down. Or the concrete was mixed poorly. Or even just the shell was defective. There are plenty of reasons why the crater might have an ambiguous directionality and so forth.
I am not saying to trust the IDF. Like, seriously, they have been engaging in crimes against humanity for decades and much like with Hamas and the baby decapitations and rape, it is less “did they blow up a hospital” and more 'did they blow up THIS hospital"?. But most of this is based on knee jerk reactions and taking a terrorist organization that STILL is holding people hostage at face value. Keeping in mind that said initial reports from Hams DRASTICALLY exaggerated the damage and loss of life.
And if this were really a smoking gun? Basically the entire OSINT community, more than a few government agencies, and every news outlet on the planet would be banging pot lids rather than talking about the dangers of improperly presenting preliminary evidence in an ongoing situation. The US will never acknowledge that Israel are engaging in genocide (and have been for decades). But CNN and the like will gladly do so if the story is juicy enough.
