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.

    This is the video

    The source is supposedly Al Jazeera. It certainly looks real, but I’m not going to call it “confirmed” like the dude sharing it just based on that. We’ll see in the following days hopefully.

      The issue with that video that a lot of people are pointing out is that the timestamp is a half hour prior to when the hospital was hit. And time zones change in full hour increments, so that doesn’t explain the discrepancy.
