"Many Gazans have refused to leave their homes for the south, fearing a repeat of the "Nakba" or "catastrophe", when many Palestinians fled or were forced from their homes during the 1948 war that accompanied Israel's creation.

Some 700,000 Palestinians, half the Arab population of what was British-ruled Palestine, were dispossessed and displaced, many spilling into neighbouring Arab states where they or many of their descendants remain. Many still live in refugee camps."

My man, you're sourcing rabidly pro-Israel sites, and Twitter.

I've seen the same footage, but I don't recall seeing Hamas confetti come out of the explosion.

Yes, it's entirely possible Hamas planted that bomb, but ascribing attribution with certainty is an impossible task at this point.

Feel free to point out the valid question, but for your own sake, don't automatically assume that "facts" from a warzone that are made readily available are somehow automatically credible.

Music festival massacre, definitely Hamas.

Air to ground bombs in Gaza, definitely Israel.

Car bomb? Not so clear.

Only Israel says it's a car bomb. All other reports say missile.
