Day 11 of the Israel-Hamas war: Amid a day of intense Israeli strikes on Gaza, over 500 people are feared to have been killed in a single air strike on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City.
As Gaza is bombarded for the eleventh straight day, over 500 people have been killed as Israel struck the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. This would make it the single most deadly strike by Israel on Gaza in history and marks a severe escalation in Israel’s use of force.
“U.S. President Joe Biden’s already fraught trip to the Middle East was completely upended after hundreds of Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.
After the strike, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas quickly canceled a planned meeting with Biden, then Jordan’s King Abdullah canceled a summit that was supposed to bring Biden together with Egyptian and Palestinian leaders.”
