Israeli air strike hits the al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City where thousands are seeking safety and treatment.

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.

    And time zones change in full hour increments

    That’s not entirely true. Several timezones are at a 30 minute offset and a couple are even at a 45 minute offset.

    Iran is +3:30

    Afghanistan is +4:30

    India is +5:30

    NT and SA in Australia is +9:30 (but NT doesn’t observe DST)

      In some special areas, yes, often due to specific small country decisions on where they fall on the date line. But that doesn’t apply here.
