Last Tuesday, an explosion at a hospital in Gaza killed at least 500 people. The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry has said that Israel was behind the bombing of the Al-Ahli Arabi Baptist Hospital. But the Israeli army pinned the blame on a “misfired rocket” by Palestine’s Islamic Jihad group.
Gaza Hamas war! Explosion in hospital?
on October 17 this explosion hit the Gaza City hospital which was packed with wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter, killing hundreds. If confirmed, the attack would be by far the deadliest Israeli airstrike in five wars fought since 2008. At least 500 people have been killed in that Israeli air attack on the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in the besieged Gaza Strip, as Palestinian officials have said. The hospital is run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, it was struck while it was overwhelmed with thousands of Palestinians seeking shelter amid a campaign of brutal Israeli air attacks across much of the besieged Gaza Strip.
Several hospitals in Gaza City have become refuges for hundreds of people, hoping they would be spared bombardment after Israel ordered all residents of the city and surrounding areas to evacuate to the southern Gaza Strip.
Hamas has denied saying, it was just a “misfired rocket”!
The health ministry of Gaza also said that this blast at the hospital was caused by an Israeli air raid. Israel has attributed the explosion to a misfired rocket launched by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) armed group. Though the PIJ has denied the allegation.
The Islamic Jihad, a Hamas ally, released a statement that says, “The Zionist enemy is trying hard to evade its responsibility for the brutal massacre he committed by bombing the Baptist Arab National Hospital in Gaza through his usual fabrication of lies, and through pointing the finger of blame at the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine.”
Israel was not conducting any aerial operations near the hospital and the rockets that were used did not match their equipment, as said by Daniel Hagari, the Spokesperson at a press conference during the time of the strike.
