Ah, as I sent this he appears to have woken up. (It's 10:39 in NYC.)
Still, no clarification for his nearly 500,000 followers about who is believed responsible, and that his earlier retweets were apparently false—an extremely damaging falsehood with real world consequences.

1/ Ben Collins, a senior reporter for NBC News who apparently specializes in "disinformation" and "the internet," has weighed in as follows on the calamity at the Gaza hospital—now widely understood to be the result of a misfired Palestinian rocket.

2/ First a retweet of an inaccurate claim that the hospital was "bombed." Then another retweet of the same.

3/ Then a retweets of some vague frustration about truth on social media, referencing nothing specific.
And that's the end of it (there are also a couple "replies," detailed below, that aren't helpful). He hasn't even hinted that his earlier retweets might have been false.

4/ His replies (posts that don't appear for all his followers and don't appear on his main thread) don't help. Mostly, he pushes back on people suggesting it might be a good idea to pump the breaks.

The hospital is fine, the Islamic Jihad rocket hit a parking lot next door and thankfully not many people were killed or injured but full blame is on Hamas and other terrorist orgs inside Gaza
