Question: It is also a well-known Hamas playbook, they are also not a credible source, so why blindly take _either_ at face value? Why blindly take anything at face value without verifying facts?

"So-and-so says" isn't news, it's gossipmongering.

Why would you question that this one particular building out of the thousands that Israel has and is bombing, wasn’t also bombed by Israel?

Aside, the doctors at the hospital said Israel bombed them, they are not Hamas.

How on earth would they know who bombed them?

Maybe it was the same people that bombed the rest of the city? The parent said Hamas made the claim, but it was doctors at the hospital.

I didn't see any news articles referencing the doctors at the hospital - but I did see articles using the Gaza Health Ministry. Perhaps that's what you mean? If so, the Gaza Health Ministry is Hamas. I stand to be corrected as I obviously haven't read all articles.

Nonetheless I don't see how doctors at the hospital would know who bombed the hospital

Yep, maybe it was the same. And maybe it wasn't. I'm don't know how doctors at a hospital would be able to determine that. I'm pretty sure it's not one of the things they're taught in medical school.

And if you're in a zone where munitions are landing all around you, and almost all of them are from a certain source, you're going to assume the next one is from the same source.

Many Hamas rockets fall in Gaza killing Palestinians. There's something like a 30% failure rate.

Yeah, that seems like a reasonable assumption, but I still wouldn't cite them on it as if they had any special insight into the source of the rocket.
