Gaza: Findings on October 17 al-Ahli Hospital Explosion
Evidence Points to Misfired Rocket but Full Investigation Needed
(Jerusalem) – The explosion that killed and injured many civilians at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in
Gaza on October 17, 2023, resulted from an apparent rocket-propelled munition, such as those commonly used by
Palestinian armed groups, that hit the hospital grounds, Human Rights Watch said today. While misfires are frequent, further investigation is needed to determine who launched the apparent rocket and whether the
laws of war were violated.
