On Tuesday 13 May, Israeli strikes on the European Hospital in Gaza killed 28 people and injured dozens, according to the Hamas-run civil defence agency.

BBC Verify analysed footage, gathered witness testimony and spoke to munitions and legal experts to examine how one of Gaza’s last functioning hospitals came under Israeli attack.

Expert analysis and verified footage point to the use of ‘bunker buster’ bombs in strikes on the hospital. Legal experts say the targeting of hospitals without warning may constitute a war crime.

The Israeli army says it was targeting a Hamas command and control centre beneath the European hospital complex, but did not provide any evidence of this.
