An Israeli air strike has hit al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City where thousands of civilians are seeking medical treatment and shelter from relentless attacks.

Gaza health ministry says at least 500 casualties in hospital blast. A UN-run school housing refugees also struck.

The attack comes a day before US President Joe Biden visits Israel, where he is expected to stress American support for the country.

A planned summit with President Biden in Jordan has been cancelled, the Jordanian government says.

Some 3,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since Hamas’s October 7 attack inside Israel, which has killed more than 1,400.

          Because you’re all coming across as whining.

          Who cares? It’s magic internet points and everyone will still see the comment. Y’all really shouldn’t get so bent out of shape over one or two people pressing the downvote button for reasons we don’t even know.
