Looks like evidence has been published, and at least partially verified by OSINT groups (in the linked article)
Not saying that there are vile people that are just rooting for their football team no matter what happens, but I did fine here offering the opinion that both statements were - at the time - equally not backed by evidence. I did mention, that the Guardian did mention that the size of explosion is more than usual for the weapons of the militants, but even that didn’t necessearily mean that it was Israel.
If we’re looking at this we should look at all neews criticial, especially if one supports a side over the other. It’s too easy to fall for hopeful rumours and fantasies anyways. Seen too many people who just go on any unbacked claim by either side “aha! I knew it”. It’s a volatile and chaotic situation and a lot of bad actors just try to score points.
