BBC Verify has confirmed women and young children were killed when a strike hit their vehicles as they headed away from northern Gaza
Analysis of images from the scene show some of those who died were aged between two and five
Israel has warned 1.1m Palestinians living in north Gaza to evacuate south, and thousands have been fleeing by vehicle or on foot
Video seems to suggest it was a car bomb, so Hamas blowing up their own people.
Again.

EDIT: Does Israel even have munitions that small? It looks like a gas tank exploding not a high explosive.
Upvoted, thanks for keeping me grounded. That’s compelling. As much blame as I give Israel in all this I don’t see that being an air strike after watching countless videos from Ukraine. I think Israel does have low-yield bombs, considering their “roof knockers,” and this could be secondary (eg, someone hauling gas/propane.)
Nevertheless I agree Hamas has more to gain in framing Israel here.
Yea, looking at the video again, I think you may be right. It looks too “Hollywood” with the giant fireball. Maybe just a propane tank exploded igniting the contents of the gas tank. Hamas may not have done anything, heard there was an explosion and blamed Israel when the fault could just be poorly maintained equipment.
So all three of you are more knowledgable about missiles and what they look like in video vs the BBC, who has decades of experience in verifying missile strikes?
Sorry … I’m with the BBC here.
Link to exactly where the BBC calls it an Israeli air strike.
All I’m seeing is “women and children dead in strike” so if you’re seeing it, they walked it back.
BBC News statement.

I’ll answer your question as soon as you verify your expertise in questioning the BBC calling it a missile strike vs you saying it was a car bomb.
No. You made the claim BBC called it a missile strike. I provided a source (with video) calling it a Vehicle Based Improvised Explosive Device. I don’t need to be the expertise, the OSINT community provided my argument. Provide yours.
I don’t see your source listed.
Here’s mine …
The Guardian calls it a missile strike.
The BBC confirms a strike on the convoy that killed women and children.
The WSJ confirms an airstrike hit the convoy.
The Business Standard reports a strike on the convoy.
Not saying you’re wrong. But WSJ does NOT confirm it. WSJ just says that’s the claim. It’s very specific wording.
So your only source is The Guardian.
The video is now gone. So what was it?
