Gaza hospital blast: what we know about the explosion

A blast at a Gaza hospital killed hundreds of Palestinians just before U.S. President Joe Biden visited Israel as the conflict between the Israeli military and the Hamas militant group raged.

WHO BOMBED THE HOSPITAL IN GAZA?

Israelis and Palestinians have blamed each other for the hospital bombing.

Biden, who has stood squarely behind Israel from the start of the conflict, said that based on information he had seen the hospital blast appeared to be the result of an errant rocket fired by a "terrorist group", echoing Israel's view.

Some Western countries have called for an investigation, without pointing the finger at this stage, while Arab states have blamed Israel.
