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.

    Oh, the Facebook image was found to be fake, yes, or more specifically someone pretending to be an official Israeli department on Facebook. I was just discussing the video in that one, not the Facebook image.

      Oh, great to have that confirmed as fake. Yep, I was just referring to the tweets from your first link. I’m gonna take your word on the video part, and appreciate the info - even if it’s tame combat footage is not for me.
