The deadliest Israeli attack on Gaza
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by Hamas, says that at least 500 people have been killed in an explosion at the Al-Ahli hospital in the strip.
According to international news agencies, the ministry emphasized on Tuesday that the explosion was the result of an Israeli airstrike.
The Associated Press reports that if this news is confirmed, it would be the deadliest attack of its kind in the five Israeli wars since 2008.
Israel says it is investigating this report.
Daniel Hagari, a spokesperson for the Israeli army, said regarding this matter that there are no details yet about the hospital casualties. We will receive the details and inform the public. I do not know whether this was caused by an Israeli attack or not.
