The Israeli military, however, denies involvement in Gaza hospital blast, saying it was caused by a misfired Palestinian rocket.
A civil defence chief in Hamas-ruled Gaza said on Al-Jazeera television that more than 300 people were killed at Al Ahli Arab Hospital. A Gaza Health Ministry official said at least 500 people were killed and injured.
Hamas said the blast at the hospital mostly killed displaced people. The victims included patients, women and children.
“There are scores of dismembered and crushed bodies, baths of blood,” Izzat El-Reshiq, a senior Hamas member, said.
