Hundreds Killed in Israeli Bombing of Gaza Hospital
Israeli airstrikes targeted the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday night, killing hundreds and wounding many more, Middle East Eye reported.
Reports say at least 500 people were killed, mainly women and children. For their part, the Israeli military is claiming the blast was the result of a misfired rocket launched by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, according to The Times of Israel.
The hospital was packed with Palestinians wounded in other strikes and people seeking refuge from the constant Israeli bombardment. If the numbers are confirmed, it would mark the single deadliest Israeli airstrike that’s ever hit the besieged Gaza Strip.
