On the 12th day of the Israel-Hamas conflict, a rocket fell on Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital in Gaza, killing around 500 people. The Israeli army has strongly denied responsibility for the attack, stating that it was not their airstrike, but rather a rocket misfire by Hamas militants that caused the hospital's destruction.

Israel has released a video of the incident, urging the global media to conduct a thorough investigation before making accusations. Notably, on the evening of the incident, a rocket launched by Hamas militants, aimed at Israel, malfunctioned and tragically struck the hospital in Gaza.
 
Israeli Military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told reporters rockets fired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group passed by the hospital at the time of the strike, which he said hit the facility's parking lot.
 
 
This event has triggered a blame game between the two sides. Hamas has accused Israel of carrying out massacres in the Gaza Strip, while the Israeli army maintains its denial, emphasizing the rocket misfire as the cause.
 
Apart from this, the Associated Press posted a video on Twitter, showing the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza Strip in flames after the rocket attack. The international community is widely condemning the incident, and it is a somber reminder of the toll this conflict is taking on innocent and vulnerable lives in the Gaza Strip.
 
 
 
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "barbaric terrorists" in Gaza had attacked the hospital, not Israel's military.
 
"An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit. Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza," he posted.
