> There is video of it being a failed rocket fired from Gaza. That’s pretty compelling. Whether it was Hamas or Islamic Jihad is a minor detail compared to whether it was from Gaza or an air strike from Israel.

We are discussing the alleged audio recording of the Hamas operatives talking about the failed rocket, not videos of the rocket itself, which I am not disputing. My argument is that the authenticity of the audio recording is neither proven or unproven.
