Canada’s National Department of Defence said on Saturday that Israel was not behind the Al-Ahli hospital strike in Gaza.

“Analysis conducted independently by the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command indicates with a high degree of confidence that Israel did not strike the Al-Ahli hospital on 17 October 2023,” it said in a statement.
