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.

    Yeah they didn’t move into someone’s house. They have had a continuous presence in the area since biblical times. There was no country of Palestine. Ever. It was always controlled by someone else. Israel came into being by accepting a deal offered. And the international community accepted them as an independent country state. There was already a civil war between the populations living there once the UN plan was passed. Some people left due to the civil war. British withdrew. Israel formed official. Arab countries attacked saying they’d kill all of the Jews there. They did not. Then they did not again. And again. They did, however, in one form or other expel their Jews to Israel.
