Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the country's military have attributed the explosion at Al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza to a misfired rocket from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group in Gaza. The incident has resulted in a significant loss of life and has generated condemnation from several countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has also criticized the attack and emphasized the protection of hospitals and medical facilities under international law. This tragic event has occurred during a period of heightened conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, leading to a significant humanitarian crisis.
