Sound from the second explosion does not fade out in the "chlorine" vid. Instead it seems to abruptly cut. When played alongside YouTube vid from 2010 it shows that's when soldiers watching explosions started making "oooo" noises in the 2010 vid (complete with my annoying cursor)

The Governor of St Helena, Nigel Phillips, has confirmed Jonathan Tortoise is alive and well - he has just checked on him.
This post is false and the real Joe Hollins does not have an X account.

We've been in touch with Joe (who isn't actually on X) and has confirmed Jonathan is alive and well.
This account is fake, please ignore.

There's an argument in the Community Notes about whether these shoes are Sambas or not.
There's another photo: tinyurl.com/ycpnnh2m
Below is a crop of the same photo with higher resolution. The name of the shoe can be seen written in capital letters. Seems to say Samoa

Hard hitting journalism this... Oddly though the Samoas I can see online (circled on the right in this photo) seem to have a much thicker rubber part at the front.
But Sunak's shoes also don't have the extra hole for your laces that Sambas have (left).

So what's the conclusion? 1) It says Samoa on the shoes. 2) I really have wasted too much time on this already.

Updated (November 3) sat imagery from @planet shows that the house seen at the start of this GoPro footage from Hamas on October 7 was destroyed in an apparent airstrike.

The video below (link to original source will follow), shows Hamas beginning its journey to attack Kerem Shalom. I have geolocated this to 31.253320, 34.265799, and the video follows the journey - headed south-east - of the green arrow below. @GeoConfirmed

Fighters in Gaza launched rockets that flew in the direction of al-Ahli Hospital 44 seconds before an explosion there killed at least 100 people on Oct. 17, The Post found.

Then you find that dozens, if not hundreds, of organisations, companies, large (evidently revenue earning) accounts, YouTubers etc, are very, very happy to use your expertise and your time, and *will not* compensate you for it. Sometimes you get credit, which is nice.

Israeli and U.S. intelligence officials believe that a projectile captured on videos shortly before the Ahli Arab Hospital explosion was a Palestinian rocket.
@nytimes Visual Investigations found that this object was launched from Israel, and likely unrelated to the deadly blast.

And if their skills aren’t valued and celebrated, they will move on to other careers or move into the private sector and their work will no longer be open source.
Newsrooms that don’t do their own in-house visual investigations should create funds for this service.
Rant over!

🧵After looking at all the currently available data on the al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion, I have made two discoveries.
#1: The "rocket" in this video is in fact a Tamir interceptor missile launched by Iron Dome and not directly related to the explosion.

I have doubts about the veracity of two videos purporting to show the Gaza hospital explosion: The surveillance footage from Netiv Haasara and the Channel 12 footage filmed from just outside Netivot. I think both show an explosion from 21s before the hospital blast 🧵

6) Even if the light in the sky is a rocket that failed in mid air, that is not in of itself proof that the hospital explosion was caused by that rocket.

Side note: @Nrg8000 has done some work looking at the Channel 12 video, it is well worth a read. He is infinitely better at this than I am

Looking to somewhat verify the time of this footage without relying on the timestamp. So tonight I did a (very unscientific) experiment & watched the sunset. This last light in the footage matched most closely to ~47-53min post-sunset. Which matches to 6:54-7:00pm. Pretty close.
