Yesterday, the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza was bombed, killing at least 500 Palestinians.
The health ministry in Gaza says the attack was the result of an Israeli air raid. Israel has attributed the explosion to a misfired rocket launched by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), which PIJ has denied.
A statement issued by the World Health organisation pointed out that there have been over 50 attacks on hospitals in Gaza since 7 October. Al Jazeera has also reported that the Israeli military has issued evacuation orders for 22 hospitals. A senior health official in Gaza told Al Jazeera that Israel had fired two artillery shells as a warning at the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital days before the bombing.

Our traditional model of the universe has always said that planets are formed with an accompanying solar system. That is, most stars have their own planets, and most planets have their own stars. However scientists have suggested that starless planets may exist.
Now, a new telescope has taken images to prove that this is indeed the case. The James Webb Space Telescope has captured not one, but two planets orbiting each other, far away from the gravity of a sun.
To find out more about this and what it means for us, Arno spoke to Dr Nick Rattenbury, a senior professor at the University of Auckland and the former president of the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand.
Arno started off our interview by asking how these planets formed.
