An Israeli air strike on the European Hospital in Gaza has killed 28 people and injured dozens, according to the Hamas-run civil defence agency.

The Israeli army says it was targeting Hamas fighters and infrastructure.

CCTV footage obtained and verified by the BBC shows the moment before impact and the immediate aftermath. Munitions experts told BBC Verify that the strikes and destruction are consistent with the use of so-called “bunker buster” bombs – designed to hit underground targets.
