Hamas says the deadly blast came from an Israeli airstrike, but the Israel Defence Forces states a rocket misfired by the Hamas-allied Palestinian Islamic Jihad group caused the destruction. Sky News breaks down the evidence to reveal what we do and don't know about the incident.
The deadly explosion at Gaza's Ahli Arab hospital remains shrouded in uncertainty, as Israeli and Hamas officials continue to blame each other for the blast. Gaza's health ministry says at least 471 people lost their lives in the incident on Tuesday evening - which would make it the deadliest incident in the territory since 2008.
However, he clarified that the quality of the video and the fact it was taken at night makes it difficult to be definitive. An image depicting a blaze inside the hospital grounds was one of the first pieces of visual evidence Sky News saw circulating online following the incident, posted around 7.27pm. Sky News analysis of corroborating images confirms that the picture is in the northern section of the hospital complex.
