Israel Blames Hamas For Gaza Children's Deaths

Israel has accused Hamas of misfiring two rockets - one of which struck Gaza's main hospital and the other a refugee camp, killing nine children.

Palestinian officials had earlier suggested Israeli missiles were to blame for the strikes on the outpatient clinic at Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and the nearby Al Shati refugee camp.

A Palestinian official said at least 10 people in total were killed in the strike on the camp, and a further 46 injured.

However, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) denied responsibility for the attacks and said it had not been operating in the area.

Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner, an Israeli army spokesman, rubbished the claims as "ridiculous" and told Sky News: "The Israeli Defence Forces did not carry out any strikes in that area. Shifa Hospital was not a target, nor was the Shati Beach camp.

"Both of those locations were struck by terrorist rockets that were launched towards Israel and fell short."

Foreigners at the scene who witnessed the attack (journalists and aid workers) say the IDF did the attack and no Hamas were operating in the area at the time of the attack.
Israel is guilty of war crimes, and there's too many witnesses to lie their way out of responsibilty.

out of the area they operate in .

"no Hamas were operating in the area at the time of the attack. "

I think it in all likelihood was a Hamas rocket that hit the hospital .

I know that's not a popular view around here, but it needs to be said.
