President Joe Biden said he was outraged following an explosion at a hospital in Gaza Citythat killed hundreds of people, saying the United States would continue to investigate to determine “what exactly happened.”
The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza said the blast ripped through the Al Ahli Arab hospital on Tuesday night, where thousands of civilians injured in the ongoing conflict with Israel were being treated. Hamas immediately blamed an Israeli airstrike, calling the attack a “horrific massacre,” while Israel rejected that claim, instead blaming militants it said had fired rockets near the hospital during a “failed” launch.
