Hundreds killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza hospital
The Gaza Health Ministry said an Israeli airstrike Tuesday hit a Gaza City hospital packed with wounded and other Palestinians seeking shelter, killing hundreds. If confirmed, the attack would be by far the deadliest Israeli airstrike in five wars fought since 2008.
Photos from al-Ahli Hospital showed fire engulfing the hospital halls, shattered glass and body parts scattered across the area. The ministry said at least 500 people had been killed.
Several hospitals in Gaza City have become refuges for hundreds of people, hoping they would be spared bombardment after Israel ordered all residents of the city and surrounding areas to evacuate to the southern Gaza Strip.
Israeli military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said there were still no details on the hospital deaths: "We will get the details and update the public. I don't know to say whether it was an Israeli air strike."

Are you serious? Israel is a criminal organization, Did you forget when they bombed Qana in South Lebanon where hundreds of women and children got killed?!!! Please, stay objective and as much as we may not like or agree with Hamas, but what is happening is beyond massacres.

If only you would read and see all the comments/reports on this matter you would see that it was a Hamas rocket which exploded not an Israeli attack. There is also a recording of a Jihad leader admitting that it was one of their rockets exploding.
