Israel Hamas Play Blame Game As Nearly 500 Innocent Gazans Die In A Hospital Blast

A strike on a Gaza Hospital killed about 500 Palestinians in the bloodiest single incident in Gaza since Israel launched an unrelenting bombing campaign against the densely populated territory in retaliation for a deadly cross-border Hamas assault on southern Israeli communities on Oct 7. Israel's military denied responsibility for the attack, saying military intelligence suggested the hospital was hit by a failed rocket launch by the enclave's Palestinian Islamic Jihad military group.
