An explosion took place at a hospital in Gaza, killing over 500 people on Tuesday. There have been conflicting reports as to what caused the blast. Initial posts from Hamas supporters on X blamed an IDF airstrike while new reports are claiming it was an Islamic Jihad rocket barrage heading toward Israel that struck the hospital.

“Intelligence from multiple sources we have indicates that the PIJ organization is responsible for the failed launch that hit the hospital,” stated IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari.

“An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the hospital at the time it was hit,” Hagari added.

Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu stated: “The entire world should know: It was barbaric terrorists in Gaza that attacked the hospital in Gaza, and not the IDF. Those who brutally murdered our children also murder their own children.”
