The attack came hours after an explosion at a Gaza hospital that killed hundreds of Palestinians.
The US currently has 2,500 troops in Iraq and 900 in Syria on a mission to advise and assist local forces in combating the Islamic State.
The Pentagon has rushed air defences and munitions to Israel, America’s closest ally in the Middle East, but US forces have not joined the fighting. Palestinian officials said an Israeli airstrike hit the hospital, with the Palestinian Authority’s health minister accusing Israel of causing a “massacre”.
“These evil people must leave the country, otherwise they will taste the fire of hell in this world before the afterlife,” the group said in a statement late yesterday.
