Gaza hospital hit by Israeli strike, Hamas-run health ministry says

An Israeli air strike has destroyed part of a hospital in Gaza City, the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry has said.
Video posted online appeared to show huge flames and smoke rising from the hospital after missiles hit a two-storey building. People, including some patients still in hospital beds, were filmed rushing away from the site.
Witnesses said the strike destroyed the intensive care and surgery departments of Al-Ahli hospital, the main medical facility in Gaza City.
The health ministry said the building was “completely destroyed” and led to the “forced displacement of patients and hospital staff”.
Hamas called the strike a “horrific crime” by Israel, which said it was looking into the reports.
