(Townhall) On Tuesday afternoon, a rocket launched at Israeli civilians by Palestinian Islamic Jihad fell short in the Gaza Strip. It landed on a hospital where Hamas claims hundreds of people are dead.
Israel now concludes that Islamic Jihad launched the rocket toward Israel that ended up bombing a hospital in Gaza City.
