Deep dives
Hospital blast in Gaza
President Joe Biden expressed concern over the deadly hospital blast in Gaza, with Israeli forces denying responsibility for the attack. Israeli officials claim the explosion was caused by a failed rocket launched by the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad. On the other hand, Gaza officials state that the hospital was damaged by Israeli shells, and CNN cannot independently verify the cause of the explosion. Biden's visit to Israel aims to show support for the country and negotiate protections for those affected by Israeli airstrikes.
