Israel Defence Forces operating systems have revealed that rockets were fired by terrorists in Gaza, according to israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following an explosion that devastated a hospital in Gaza on tuesday and resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people. Netanyahu said that information obtained from many sources showed Islamic Jihad was behind the botched missile launch.
"An analysis of IDF operational systems indicates that a barrage of rockets was fired by terrorists in Gaza, passing in close proximity to the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza at the time it was hit," he posted on social media platform X.
"Intelligence from multiple sources we have in our hands indicates that Islamic Jihad is responsible for the failed rocket launch which hit the hospital in Gaza," he added.
"The entire world should know: It was barbaric terrorists in Gaza that attacked the hospital in Gaza, and not the IDF," Netanyahu said in another post on X. "Those who brutally murdered our children also murder their own children," he added.
