Gaza Hospital Attack And After

October 20, 2023 10:01 IST

Hamas claimed the attack on the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza on Tuesday evening was an Israeli strike. Israel produced visual and audio evidence to claim that a rocket launched by Islamic Jihad -- a Hamas rival in the Gaza strip -- had misfired, hitting the hospital.

The jury is out on what really happened, but truth may be a victim in the fog of war.
