Israel releases 'audio of Hamas discussing failed rocket launch'

Israel's Defence Forces have released an audio clip which they claim shows Hamas members confirming a misfiring rocket launched by Palestinian Islamic Jihad was responsible for the devastation of a Gaza hospital overnight. 'They are saying (the rocket) belongs to Palestinian Islamic Jihad. It's from us?' one alleged Hamas member asks in the clip provided by Israel's military intelligence. 'It looks like it,' the other responded. 'It misfired and fell on them... God bless - couldn't it have found another place to explode?' Hamas is a political and militant organisation, while Palestinian Islamic Jihad is an independent jihadist group - but both are in opposition to Israel. The alleged recording was one of several pieces of evidence Israel has used to deny its involvement in the hospital blast, which Gaza Health Ministry claimed resulted in around 500 deaths. IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari showed evidence suggesting Hamas knew the hospital blast was caused by an Islamic Jihad rocket but launched a 'global media campaign' to blame Israel. #dailymail #gaza #hamasattack Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12643229/Israel-blast-Gaza-hospital-Palestine-video-rocket-misfire.html Original Video: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-3040235/Video-Israel-claim-unverified-audio-Hamas-gunmen-talking-missile.html Daily Mail Homepage: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ Daily Mail Facebook: https://facebook.com/dailymail Daily Mail IG: https://instagram.com/dailymail Daily Mail Snap: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/Daily-Mail/8392137033 Daily Mail Twitter: https://twitter.com/MailOnline Daily Mail Pinterest: https://pinterest.co.uk/dailymail Get the free Daily Mail mobile app: https://dailymail.co.uk/mobile
