The terrorist group Hezbollah called for Wednesday to be a “day of rage” to condemn the bombing of a hospital in Gaza that left hundreds dead and the one who accuses Israel. However, Israeli authorities assure that the incident was caused by an Islamic Jihad rocket that fell in the strip.

“May tomorrow, Wednesday, be a day of anger against the enemy,” Hezbollah, an ally of the Hamas terrorist group, said in a statement, denouncing a “massacre” and a “brutal crime.”

The bombing killed at least 200 people in a Gaza hospital on Tuesday, raising a wave of international outrage on the eve of US President Joe Biden’s arrival in the region.

The Israeli army stated that the attack that hit the hospital It was a poorly fired rocket by Palestinian militants.

“An analysis of the operating systems of the Israel Defense Forces (army) indicates that A barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing very close to Gaza’s Ahli hospital at the time it was hit“the army said in a statement.

“Information from multiple sources in our possession indicates that the Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch that hit the Gaza hospital,” the statement said, referring to another Gaza-based militant group that has claimed to fight Israel alongside Hamas.

For his part, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, published a message on his X account and assured that “the whole world knew: The barbarian terrorists of Gaza are the ones who attacked the Gaza hospital, not the IDF. He who brutally murdered our children also murders his children.”.

On the other hand, thousands of Palestinians took to the streets this Tuesday in different cities of West Bank occupied to protest against the bombing of the hospital.
