Hamas blames Israel, but Israel says it wasn鈥檛 them.
An explosion at a crowded hospital in Gaza City has killed hundreds of people, according to Palestinian health officials. Israel says the number is much lower.
Hamas blames Israel, but Israel says it wasn鈥檛 them and points the finger at another group, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. They also say it wasn鈥檛 them.
