The UK government believes the explosion at Al Ahli hospital in the Gaza Strip was not caused by an IDF airstrike, but by a missile fired by Palestinian militants towards Israel.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told members of the British Parliament this, The Guardian writes.
According to him, British intelligence services came to this conclusion based on intelligence data and analysis of the consequences of the explosion.
An explosion in the courtyard of Al-Ahly Hospital in Gaza occurred on October 17. The terrorist movement Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, blamed the attack on the Israeli army. The IDF responded that a misfired rocket fired at Israel by militants from the Islamic Jihad group exploded in the hospital.
The Gaza Strip’s health ministry said the explosion killed 471 people. American and Israeli intelligence believe that the explosion at the Al-Ahly hospital could have killed a maximum of several dozen people. US authorities are also inclined to believe that Israel was not involved in the explosion in a Gaza hospital.
The rocket has evaporated – Hamas refuses to provide evidence of the attack on Al-Ahli hospital.
Six days after Hamas blamed Israel for an attack on a hospital in the Gaza Strip, the group has yet to provide any evidence, The New York Times reports.
The rocket dissolved like salt in water. She disappeared. There is nothing left,” said Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad.
The militants also refuse to provide detailed information confirming the number of casualties.
