Investigation reveals Gaza hospital blast caused by militants, not Israel

The UK government has concluded that the explosion at a hospital in Gaza, which killed hundreds, was likely caused by a misfired missile from within Palestinian territory, rather than an Israeli strike. The conclusion aligns with assessments by U.S. and French officials. Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes continue to bomb areas in Gaza, including those where civilians have sought refuge, and the power blackout in Gaza has led to dire conditions in hospitals. Pro-Palestinian activists staged a demonstration at the International Criminal Court, calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal. Israel has arrested 37 Hamas members in overnight raids, and a third aid convoy has entered Gaza. The EU's top diplomat has called for more aid and a humanitarian pause, while Israel steps up attacks on Gaza.

"Protesters Clash in NYC Over Deadly Hospital Bombing in Gaza"

Pro-Palestine and pro-Israel protesters clashed in New York City's Washington Square Park following a deadly bombing at a Gaza hospital. The pro-Palestine demonstrators accused Israel of bombing the hospital, while Israel supporters claimed it was a misfired rocket by Palestinian militants. Tensions ran high as both sides shouted at each other, with the pro-Israel group holding signs depicting kidnapped individuals and calling the opposing side terrorists. The protests come after widespread demonstrations in the city demanding an end to the war, and hours later, dozens of protesters were arrested outside Senator Chuck Schumer's home.

"Israeli Airstrike on Gaza Hospital Leaves Hundreds Dead, Palestinian Officials Report"

At least 300 people were killed in an Israeli air strike on a hospital in Gaza City, according to local authorities, while the United Nations reported that one of its schools being used as a shelter was also hit. The Gaza Health Ministry said at least 500 people were killed, and health authorities estimate that over 3,000 people have died in the 11-day bombardment. The attack occurred on the eve of U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to Israel and during German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's visit. The international community, including Canada and Egypt, condemned the attack.
