About 500 people are feared dead in Gaza after an air strike on a hospital. Hamas says the strike was an Israeli air strike, but the Israeli military says the Islamic Jihad terrorist organisation is responsible for the failed shooting that hit the hospital.

It's now been 11 days since Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, to which Israel responded with force.
