According to British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the explosion at a hospital in Gaza City was likely caused by a missile fired from Gaza and not by an Israeli rocket.
“The British government judges that the explosion was likely caused by a missile, or part of one, that was launched from within Gaza towards Israel,” Sunak told parliament.
“The misreporting of this incident had a negative effect in the region, including on a vital U.S. diplomatic effort and on tensions here at home.”
According to Palestinian sources, the explosion at Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital on Tuesday claimed 471 lives. The health ministry in Gaza attributed the explosion to an Israeli airstrike, but Israel claimed that a terrorist rocket launch went wrong.
The conclusions obtained by the United States, France, and Canada are consistent with those of Britain.
