Following the explosion that killed over 200 people in a hospital in Gaza, the Israeli army said they have evidence pointing that militants were responsible for the attack.

The spokesperson of the military, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, in a press conference on Wednesday in Tel Aviv said the evidence confirmed that the explosion was caused by an Islamic Jihad rocket misfired from a nearby cemetery

The deaths from the blast have caused more tension that might lead to protests with wide condemnation from Palestinian officials.

Speaking at the press conference, Hagari said: “There was no IDF (Israeli army) fire by land, sea or air that hit the hospital.

“Our radar system tracked missiles fired by terrorists in Gaza at the time of the explosion and the trajectory analysis of the rockets shows the rockets were fired close to the hospital.”

The Rear Admiral also shared aerial footage collected by a military drone which he claims showed a blast that he said was inconsistent with Israeli weaponry.

The war of words continued on Wednesday with Hamas firing back at Israel’s latest comments about the strike, saying “Its outrageous lies do not deceive anyone”.
