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.

    The leadership of Gaza is Hamas. Unequivocally.

    Hamas was elected to power then pulled the ladder up behind them suspending all future elections.

    All officials in the Gaza government are Hamas.

    Elections were suspended in the West Bank because there is a real chance Hamas would win an election there today.

    This isn’t a case of a tyrannical overlord ruling over the Palestinian people without their consent.

    Most supported and still support the organization.
