That “crater” is awfully small and far away from the damage. Something landed there but to my untrained eyes it supports the idea of an off target missile. The article also says it’s not consistent with a typical bomb drop appearance.
Hamas rockets have killed plenty of people in the past. They aren’t shooting off bottle rockets. They have hit people in Gaza many times before with failed rockets.
Do you remember the last published statistic on that? IIRC from previous massive Hamas rocket barrages, somewhere in the range of 10-30% of them never make it to Israel, but instead end up landing inside Gaza.
What are the yields, usually? AFAIK, Hamas’ rockets are your pretty standard rocket artillery designed for use against relatively small fortifications, personnel, or armor.
So far, the initial details already contradict IDF, which claimed no craters visible on-site.

Could be. It’s still a visible crater.

That’s not even counting the current war.
