Israeli airstrike on Gaza hospital tent camp kills 2

An Israeli airstrike hit a tent camp in the courtyard of a crowded hospital in central Gaza, killing two Palestinians and wounding another 15, including journalists working nearby.

An Associated Press reporter filmed the strike and aftermath at the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al Balah, where thousands of people have sheltered after fleeing their homes elsewhere in the war-ravaged territory. People including women and children scattered and cried out.

Tens of thousands of people have sought shelter in Gaza's hospitals since the start of the war nearly six months ago, viewing them as relatively safe from airstrikes.

Israel accuses Hamas and other armed groups of operating in and around medical facilities, and troops have raided a number of hospitals.
