That's fine, although I would be curious to hear what made you reach the opposite conclusion.

- The IDF often lies when the truth makes them look bad, as in the case of the murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh: first they claimed she was shot by Palestinians, then that she was caught in crossfire, until it finally emerged that she had been killed by an Israeli sniper

- The IDF often attacks hospitals

- The IDF warned people to evacuate the hospital repeatedly in the days leading up to the attack

- IDF affiliates initially claimed credit for the attack

- The IDF posted video “proving” it was a failed rocket launch, then removed the video without acknowledging it when people pointed out that the timestamps didn’t line up

- The IDF released an inculpatory recording of Hamas that has since been widely discredited

- To the extent that they are able to investigate, many independent organizations have not found evidence supporting the IDF’s claims

- The US is resisting calls to allow independent investigations

- The IDF has targeted other hospitals since the air strike

Thanks! Don't want to argue, but basically seems like you made up your mind without taking most of the actual evidence into consideration, although i can fully understand being skeptical of the IDF (although of course I'm even more skeptical of Hamas)

Here's another piece of evidence to consider (although you'll probably disqualify it since it's from the IDF), a video that shows just high the hamas/jihad rocket failure rate is:
