• IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir directed an immediate probe after an initial assessment found the building was struck by at least two shells.
• Investigators are working to determine whether the rounds came from tanks or artillery after the IDF said a credible threat was identified on the hospital’s roof.
