The rockets are unguided and made from sewer pipe and plant fertilizer. These things probably have a spread of a kilometer and this one was likely malfuncioning. I don't see a reason to assume they intentionally targeted the hospital. These are long range weapons anyways.

They fire off these things from civilian areas all the time. I don't see how it's so surprising to people that a shitty rocket fired out of a super dense city could fail and hit a building like a hospital.

Misfires happen all the time, but when you're shooting from within city limits the chance of one leading to tragedy is much higher.
