I think what the article is implying, is that it was targeted by mistake. That elementary school used to be a part of the military base right next door. Whoever hit it, may have been using old intelligence to determine targets. So far though, neither the US nor Israel is admitting to anything.
There have also been reports out earlier today, that Israel may be using unassisted AI to select targets. If this is true, then it makes sense that they got their intelligence wrong. AI isn’t known for getting things right.
They’ve bombed a dozen other healthcare facilities. This is like when Israel claimed Hamas bombed its own hospital in Gaza while it proceeded to bomb every other hospital in Gaza.
Bombed =/= damaged. The pics I saw from Ghandi hospital shows the windows being blown out and the facade blown off, but that indicates an explosion nearby and not directly on the hospital itself.
It’s interesting that you mention that case in Gaza where it did, in fact, turn out that the damage came from a Palestinian rocket that fell on (the parking lot of) that hospital. Shows that most of the time there’s more to it than what comes out in the first moments after the fact
First, Palestinians have noted that the al-Ahli Arab Hospital was hit by rocket fire three days earlier, although according to The New York Times, the source of the rocket fire remains unclear, and staff had received text messages and phone calls demanding that the hospital be evacuated.[115] Anglican Archbishop Hosam Naoum said the Israeli military had telephoned and texted the hospital at least three times since 14 October, asking patients and staff to leave.[59] He said these warnings were specific to the hospital, and not part of Israel’s general push to have civilians leave northern Gaza: “There were specific warnings to get out of the building.”[59]
Second, Israel dissembled about civilian casualties before, such as in the death of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.[115]
Third, Israeli government officials have put out inconsistent information regarding the hospital explosion, including a video of a rocket barrage showing a time stamp well after the time of the explosion.[115] Hananya Naftali is frequently cited on this point. Naftali, an Israeli social media influencer and a social media advisor to Netanyahu, initially posted a statement on Twitter, stating the Israeli Air Force had struck a Hamas terrorist base inside a hospital. Naftali promptly deleted this, later stating that his previous post was a false assumption he had made based on a Reuters report.[116][117] PolitiFact found no evidence of Naftali being “an official spokesperson for Israel or its military”. PolitiFact also noted, “He said in an Oct. 14 Facebook video that Netanyahu assigned him to a task force to defend Israel in the media.”[118]
Does it really matter if it was Israel or the vassal state?

According to whom?
Al Jazeera released the video back in the day
edit: here’s an overview of multiple analyses
Yeah no Israel did it.
Wait are you just cherrypicking the analyses that support that pov?
How are you explaining the following:
?
The Gaza Health Ministry was at the site, because they were bombed.
When you say impartial, you’re talking about Israel or anyone else who has interest in pretending Israel doesn’t target hospitals.
That’s literally just hasbara, half the wikipedia article is speculation on what could have made the crater.
Modern airburst munitions rarely leave a big crater on pavement, since that’s energy that could be put into surrounding buildings.
