There is no evidence that hundreds of people were killed. The EU believes the death toll to be between 10-50.

The US puts the death toll at 100-300, for whatever unclassified documents from US intelligence are worth.

I can't find the EU number, but I'll take your word for it.

It's entirely possible the death toll is lower. I don't claim that we know anything for certain.

You originally claimed "The event happened. There was an explosion at a hospital that killed hundreds of people. This is not in dispute."

Looking at the crater left behind by the missile and the damage radius I find it very hard to believe that hundreds of people died.
