Grandpere’s love builds a Viking ship in West Pubnico | SaltWireGAZA - The head of orthopedic surgery at Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital in Gaza, Fadel Naim, had just finished a procedure when he heard a huge explosion and his department filled with people screaming for help.

Tuesday's explosion killed hundreds of Palestinians and wrecked a diplomatic mission by U.S. President Joe Biden, who arrived in Israel on Wednesday to calm the region but was snubbed by Arab leaders who called off an emergency summit. On Tuesday, people seeking shelter from the fiercest fighting between the Israeli military and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in decades walked into the hospital to their deaths.

"Without warning this hospital was targeted. We don't know what the shell is called but we saw the results of it when it targeted children and ripped their bodies into pieces."The death toll from the hospital explosion was by far the highest of any single incident in Gaza during the current violence, and saw protests erupt in the occupied West Bank and the wider region, including in Jordan and Turkey.

Israel's military on Wednesday published what it described as evidence that a misfired Palestinian rocket caused the hospital explosion. Hamas said it was an Israeli air strike and an Islamic Jihad spokesman rejected Israeli accusations as"cover to justify carrying out its massacres against Palestinian civilians".
