News of the deadly Israeli strike on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, which killed at least 471 people, has dominated headlines for the past 24 hours as Israel's war on Gaza rages for the 12th day. Here's before and after footage to demonstrate the extent of the damage that was done.

Israel claims that the hospital strike was caused by an errant missile launched by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, but Palestinian officials have rejected this narrative. Notably, Israel does have a history of striking hospitals, schools, and shelters and committing other violations of international law and fundamental norms of war.
