Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari has said that the Israeli military did not strike the AlAhliBaptistHospital in the Gaza Strip and that the facility was hit by a failed rocket launched by the Islamic Jihad terror organisation, media reports said.

The Israeli military has said on Tuesday that following an additional review and cross-examination of the operational and intelligence systems, “it is clear that the #IDF did not strike the hospital in Gaza.”

“I can confirm that following an analysis of the #IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in #Gaza, passing in close proximity to the #AlAhli hospital in #Gaza at the time it was hit,” says Hagari in a short video sent by the IDF.
