A blast at a hospital has become the bloodiest single incident in Gaza since Israel launched an unrelenting bombing campaign against the densely populated territory in retaliation for a deadly cross-border Hamas assault. Here's what we know.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in a blast at a Gaza hospital crammed with patients and displaced people.
However, an Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson says analysis by its operational system shows "an enemy rocket barrage" aimed at Israel was passing the hospital at the time of the blast."Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza," they said.
Iran-backed Islamic Jihad took part in the Hamas-led assault on Israel on October 7 and, like Hamas, it has fired numerous salvos of rockets into Israel."MSF has spoken with a colleague doctor who was working in the hospital at the time and he was in the operating room when the blast occurred," Mr Eccleshall said."Many people who are seeking refuge in places of safety, like a hospital or a school, have become a casualty to the conflict.
