There is no evidence that hundreds of people were killed. The EU believes the death toll to be between 10-50.

The US puts the death toll at 100-300, for whatever unclassified documents from US intelligence are worth.

I can't find the EU number, but I'll take your word for it.
It's entirely possible the death toll is lower. I don't claim that we know anything for certain.

You originally claimed "The event happened. There was an explosion at a hospital that killed hundreds of people. This is not in dispute."

Looking at the crater left behind by the missile and the damage radius I find it very hard to believe that hundreds of people died.
Yes. The very first articles say the IDF hadn't yet commented. Later articles included their comments. "Later," in this case, means "one hour later".
>hey, does it make sense that Israel would bomb a hospital packed with civilians right as the US president is about to visit? Would Israel so blatantly destroy the relatively high global goodwill and backing they currently have? What do they have to gain?
Israeli bombardment has hit hospitals before.
Israeli damaged hospitals in 2021, perhaps unintentionally.

This is a stub of an article and the origin of the claims isn't clear to me, but it seems Israeli artillery hit the very same hospital we're discussing on the 14th.

In the 2014 war Israel admitted to deliberately attacking a hospital, claiming that it contained a weapons cache.
https://www.cnn.com/2014/07/21/world/meast/gaza-hospital-att...
It is not, on its face, implausible that Israel would attack a hospital. It is also quite plausible that they would hit a hospital by mistake. They have done both of these things before.
>THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACTUAL EVENT SINCE IT NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
The event happened. There was an explosion at a hospital that killed hundreds of people. This is not in dispute.
