- TEL AVIV, OCTOBER 18 - Israel reiterates that the explosion that took place yesterday in the al-Ahli hospital in Gaz was caused by a defective rocket launched yesterday at 18:59 by Islamic Jihad from a cemetery not far away. This was stated by the Israeli military spokesman, Daniel Hagari, at a press conference in which he showed images of last night's events.
Israel, he added, also has a recording of a conversation between Palestinian militants that would confirm the launch of a defective rocket. Since the beginning of the conflict, he said, 450 defective Palestinian rockets have exploded inside the Gaza Strip.
