Israel war: Hundreds killed in Gaza hospital strike as both sides point fingers at one another

At least 500 people were killed in an airstrike that hit a hospital in Gaza, according to its health ministry, with Hamas quickly accusing Israel of carrying out the strike, while Israel's military pointed the finger at Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The attack on Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City will “forever remain a stain on the conscience of humanity that has been witnessing the horrors committed against the Palestinian people without taking action to stop it,” the Palestinian Foreign Affairs Ministry said in a statement. "Every rule of international law is being shredded as thousands are mercilessly massacred and millions of people are being stripped of their humanity, subjected to wanton killing, starvation and forced transfer, with no end in sight as Israeli occupying forces ... continue to pound the Gaza Strip, with thousands of missiles and bombs targeting civilian areas by air, land and sea and threats to commit mass murders."
