Against the backdrop of ongoing conflicts, a catastrophic event unfolded in the heart of the Gaza Strip, triggering international attention and widespread shock. Moments of unsuspecting tranquility were shattered yesterday (Tuesday) when a rocket, inadvertently misfired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group, struck the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.



Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, a spokesperson for the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) confirmed this in a briefing following accusations implicating the Israeli military in the incident, which quickly surged across global media. These originally unfounded allegations had deemed the military strike as a "war crime."



In a bid to create clarity, Hagari revealed that their operational systems analysis pinpointed a barrage of rockets that were launched from Gaza, passing dangerously close to the hospital at the precise time of impact.


According to IDF data, roughly 450 rockets aimed at Israel have fallen short, detonating within Gaza's borders since war erupted on October 7. Eyewitness accounts and surveillance camera footage corroborate IDF statements, capturing the chilling moment a rocket, designated for Israel, plummeted prematurely, causing severe devastation within Palestinian territory.
