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.

    There is apparently a video of a Hamas missile misfiring and landing on the hospital.

    It is unclear, and even if it was no clear distinction on who fired it.

    Point is that this “war” is about justification and the global narrative far more that who did what. Both sides are trying to win over the world and justify themselves while claiming the other commits ear crimes with the truth and people coming a distant second.
