British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says Britain has determined that the explosion at the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza was probably caused by a missile fired from within Gaza, AFP reports.

“We have taken care to look at all the evidence currently available,” Sunak said.

“On the basis of the deep knowledge and analysis of our intelligence and weapons experts, the British government judges that the explosion was likely caused by a missile, or part of one, that was launched from within Gaza towards Israel,” he added.
