storing massive quantities of ammonium nitrate goes wrong again. who could have seen this coming?Seamus's Substack: https://www.seamus-malekafzali.com/Seamus...
Having listened to the episode, the take was that the IDF was bombing near the hospital to intimidate them into leaving, and so deliberately targetted the parking lot thinking it would have been mostly empty, unaware that it was actually packed. So not really an accident in that they were unwilling to kill civilians or risk directly hitting the hospital itself, just not that many in a way that undermined their propaganda.
I'm not sure why they wouldn't have known how that parking lot was being utilized, but I didn't really read the take as being IDF apologetics.
