This is the same BBC that said that Israel bombed a hospital, right?

Not really. BBC Verify uses a lot of fairly sophisticated but accessible techniques to verify the provenance of photographs. They can use the hidden geo/chrono data that is encoded in digital photos to place the date and time. It’s very much akin to @89th s work in identifying Jon’s hotel rooms and even what floor he was on.
Most of the false images that they have identified have been coming from the pro-Palestine side. But the recurring ones from the Pro-Israel side have been the claims about this baby and Mr. FAFO. Mr. FAFO is a fairly famous Instagram celebrity in the Middle East. He’s kind of a Muslim Sacha Baron Cohen. All of the claims about him and Pallywood are actually from Instagram posts and jokes going back over several years.
As far as the hospital bombing, no, BBC Verify actually put together a pretty comprehensive list of evidence to support the fact that it was a misfired Palestinian rocket.
