At least 500 Palestinians were killed in a devastating explosion at Gaza’s Al Ahli Arab Hospital on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The blast has intensified already soaring tensions in the region, with both sides trading blame over the tragedy. 💔
Palestinian authorities called the incident an Israeli airstrike, while Israel’s military attributed it to a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group. Visuals from nearby Al-Shifa Hospital, shared by CGTN Stringer, show overwhelmed medical teams treating the injured as crowds gather outside. 🏥⚕️
The explosion—one of the deadliest single incidents in recent Gaza clashes—has drawn global attention, with calls for de-escalation from international bodies. As conflicting narratives unfold, the human toll highlights the urgent need for dialogue. 🕊️
