Israeli troops stationed near Israel Gaza border on Wednesday (October 18) on the day US President Joe Biden is expected in the country.
A strike on a Gaza hospital killed hundreds of Palestinians, deepening tensions in the Middle East and raising the stakes for Biden as he flies to Israel on Wednesday to signal support for its war against Hamas.
Palestinian officials said an Israeli air strike hit the hospital, with the Palestinian Authority's health minister accusing Israel of causing a "massacre". Israel blamed the blast at Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital on a failed rocket launch by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, which denied responsibility.
