Israel Denies Responsibility For The Fatal Attack On A Gaza Hospital

The lethal attack comes as the U.S. attempts to convince Israel to allow the delivery of supplies to desperate civilians, aid groups and hospitals caught between cross fire in the Gaza strip.

A rocket blast struck a hospital in Gaza killing at least 500 people and left more trapped under the rubble.

Israel has denied any responsibility for the attack and claims that the strike was a rocket misfired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists. Hamas argues this is ‘completely incorrect’ and accused the Israeli Defense Force of attempting to ‘cover for the horrifying crime and massacre they committed against civilians.’

Nearly 6,000 Palestinians were sheltering at the hospital which is reportedly funded by the Anglican Church. The lethal attack comes as the U.S. attempts to convince Israel to allow the delivery of supplies to desperate civilians, aid groups and hospitals caught between cross fire in the Gaza strip. The area has been under a complete siege since the war between Israel and Hamas first broke out just over a week ago.
