A former CNI agent, about the Gaza hospital: "The author would know if Hamas shows a fragment of the missile… but he has not done so"
Theories about what impacted the Gazan Al Ahli hospital, where almost 500 people lost their lives on Tuesday night, persist more than 24 hours later. This Thursday, former CNI agent, Jorge Gómez, considered that “the most reasonable thing” is that the hospital was hit by a piece of rocket launched from Palestinian territory and heading towards the south of Israel.
Interviewed on the program La Mirada Crítica on Tele 5, presented by Ana Terradillos, he stated that “something less powerful than a missile” fell in the parking lot of the medical center.
“Probably not even a rocket, but part of it that contained part of the fuel and this would have caused the explosion.”
The expert understands that there are “reasonable doubts in view of the images” and believes that “Hamas could resolve them by providing a fragment of the alleged missile, but this is not done.”
Gómez explained that “the impact has not been on the structure of the hospital but “it has been in the outdoor parking area, where many citizens would be sheltering from the bombings.”
According to his story, the impact of a missile, because it has more destructive power than that of a rocket, would have produced in the area “a crater of very large dimensions, which cannot be observed.” In the event of a missile impact, “the vehicles in that area would fly or disintegrate and others would be left in a mess,” he explained.
The former CNI agent observes that it is damage caused by fire: “They (the vehicles) are burned, and not scattered by the impact.”
It is also striking that the hospital structure only suffered minor damage from broken glass, “and we even see air conditioning systems in perfect condition,” Gómez points out.
Given all this, he added that “the most reasonable thing is that something less powerful than a missile fell in the parking lot.”. “Probably not even a rocket, but the part of it that contained some of the fuel.”
A failed rocket heading towards Israel
According to his theory, what hit the hospital “is a rocket that would go to the south of Israel if it is a rocket launched by Hamas, which may have had a breakdown, a failure in flight.”
For Gómez “that is the most logical explanation”, although he has been quick to assure that “we are not certain that this would have happened like that”, to insist that “with a sample of a missile fragment we would have complete certainty.”
Ultimately, for the former CNI agent “the important thing is not who launched the projectile, the important thing is the deaths,” he said before regretting that it was used “for the war of disinformation” that he immediately blamed on Israel and provoked ” a world revolt.”
