Israel says evidence shows hospital blast came from Gaza as Biden lands

Jerusalem: Israel says a blast at a hospital in Gaza on Tuesday evening was caused by a rocket misfired by Palestinian militants. The IDF says its evidence shows a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket, fired from a cemetery, landed in the hospital car park.

Israel presented images and transcripts of conversations at a press briefing on Wednesday morning. Hamas, Palestinian authorities, and other countries blame Israel for the explosion, which Hamas says killed 500 people.Israel has carried out air strikes on targets across Gaza since the Hamas attacks on 7 October.

The IDF says at least 450 rockets fired from Gaza since then have landed on Gazan territory. US President Joe Biden has arrived in Israel – but a planned summit in Jordan with Arab leaders has been cancelled.
