About 500 Palestinians were killed in a blast at a Gaza City hospital yesterday that health authorities in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip blamed on an Israeli air strike.

According to a report by Reuters, Israel’s military attributed the blasts at the al-Ahli Arab Hospital to a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group.
