An Israeli air strike killed at least 300 people at a Gaza City hospital on Tuesday, authorities in the Palestinian enclave said, and the United Nations said an Israeli strike also hit one of its schools being used as a shelter.
A Gaza civil defense chief said on Al-Jazeera television that more than 300 people were killed at Al-Ahli al-Arabi Hospital. A Gaza Health Ministry source said at least 500 people were killed. Both departments are under the Hamas-run government.
Israel's military said it was "still ironing out all the details" on the reports of the strikes on both the hospital and the school.
Health authorities in Gaza say at least 3,000 people have been killed in Israel's intense 11-day bombardment since Hamas militants rampaged into Israeli towns on October 7, killing more than 1,300 soldiers and civilians.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, "It's not acceptable to hit a hospital." Egypt said it denounced the attack "in the strongest terms."
