The Israeli army on Monday categorically denied firing on a hospital and a refugee camp in Gaza City, accusing Hamas fighters of misfiring their own rockets.
"We have not fired on the hospital or on Shati refugee camp," Major Arye Shalicar told AFP, referring to a strike on a beachfront refugee camp where 10 people were killed, eight of them children.
"We know that Hamas was firing from both areas and the missiles struck these places," he said, indicating that over the past three weeks around 200 missiles fired by Gaza militants had fallen short and landed inside the Gaza Strip.
