NextImg:Israel Blames Hamas For Hospital Massacre in Gaza

A Gaza City hospital packed with wounded Palestinians was bombed Tuesday, killing over 500 people. The Hamas-run Health Ministry claim an Israeli airstrike hit the hospital, but Israeli authorities deny responsibility, saying it was a misfired Hamas rocket.

Photos and video from Al-Ahli Hospital show the horrific aftermath of the airstrike as fire engulfed the hospital.

Many people had been seeking shelter in the hospital when the strike hit, according to the Hamas government.

“We were operating in the hospital, there was a strong explosion, and the ceiling fell on the operating room. This is a massacre,” said Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah, a Doctors Without Borders doctor in Gaza in a statement.

A Palestinian Civil Defense official told Al Jazeera that what he witnessed at the scene of the attack was “indescribable.”

“What happened was a major massacre in every sense of the word, which is genocide against our people, and the world must take action,” spokesperson Major Mahmoud Basal said.

The IDF said in a statement that an analysis “an operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit.”

“Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza,” the statement added.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry released a video allegedly showing that an enemy rocket barrage was passing over the hospital toward Israel when the hospital was hit.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said in a statement posted onto X that the evidence points to a Hamas misfire.

“An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit,” Netanyahu said. “Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza.”

According to some reports, the misifired rocket detonated a stockpile of munitions held on the hospital grounds. Hamas is known to use hospitals as bunkers and rocket launching pads, knowing they will be spared retaliatory air strikes.

In the wake of the Al-Ahli Hospital bombing, hundreds of demonstrators in Jordan stormed the Israeli embassy in Amman.
