On 17 October 2023, an explosion took place in a courtyard of al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City during the Israel–Hamas war, resulting in a large number of displaced Palestinians seeking shelter there being killed or injured.

International media initially reported that over 500 Palestinians were killed according to the Gaza Health Ministry, but this was a mistranslation of a report that had mentioned over 500 total victims, including injured.[6][7][8] The Gaza Health Ministry later reported a more precise figure of 471 killed and 342 wounded. A report by Human Rights Watch questioned the Health Ministry's casualty figures. The Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem, which manages the hospital, reported 200 people killed, while the US assessed a figure between 100 and 300.[9]

The cause of the explosion is contested. Israel, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada said that their intelligence sources indicate the cause of the explosion was a failed rocket launch from within Gaza by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). Hamas and PIJ stated the explosion was caused by an Israeli airstrike.[10]

Several sources considered that an errant rocket from Gaza was the likeliest explanation a week after the incident based on the evidence gathered in investigations conducted by the Associated Press, CNN, The Economist, The Guardian, and The Wall Street Journal.[11] In late November 2023, Human Rights Watch also stated that the available evidence made an Israeli airstrike "highly unlikely".[9] Channel 4 News investigations contested Israeli claims of a misfired Hamas rocket being responsible for the blast.[12][13] In its investigation on 20 October 2023, Forensic Architecture concluded the blast was the result of a munition fired from the direction of Israel, and in subsequent visual investigations published on 15 February 2024 and 17 October 2024, with the latter including situated testimony from doctors, it cast further doubt on the errant rocket launch theory.[14][15][16]
