Rishi Sunak has told the House of Commons that a British intelligence investigation into the missile strike at the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza last week confirms it was not caused by Israel.<\/p>\n

The revelation comes after widespread misreporting of the attack by the media, based on claims by Hamas.<\/p>\n

Speaking to MPs, Mr Sunak said: “I can now share our assessment with the House”<\/p>\n

“On the basis of the deep knowledge and analysis of our intelligence and weapons experts, the British Government judges that the explosion was likely caused by a missile or part of one that was launched from within Gaza towards Israel.”<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister said the misreporting of the strike “had a negative effect in the region, including on a vital diplomatic effort and on tensions here at home”.<\/p>\n

He warned: “We need to learn the lessons and ensure that in future there is no rush to judgement”.<\/p>\n
