"Horrified! There must be accountability” Canada PM Trudeau responds to airstrike on Gaza hospital
Gaza City: In a devastating incident, a massive explosion rocked Al Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday, leaving hundreds dead, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry.
The hospital was filled with wounded individuals and Palestinians seeking shelter at the time of the blast. Hamas blamed an Israeli airstrike, while the Israeli military countered, attributing the tragedy to a rocket misfired by other Palestinian groups.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed his horror over the loss of life in a heartfelt message shared on his social media account, formerly known as Twitter. He wrote, "I’m horrified by the loss of life at Al Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza. My thoughts are with those who lost loved ones. It is imperative that innocent civilians be protected and international law upheld. Together, we must determine what happened. There must be accountability.”
Trudeau's statement echoed the sentiments of many international leaders who have called for a thorough investigation into the incident and demanded accountability for the tragic loss of civilian lives.

'NATO air defences intercept third ballistic missile over Turkiye since start of Iran war'
Istanbul (AP): NATO defences on Friday intercepted a ballistic missile fired from Iran over Turkiye, the Defense Ministry said.
It marked the third such incident since the start of the Iran war.
Turkiyes Defence Ministry said the missile was destroyed by NATO air defences deployed in the eastern Mediterranean. Residents in the southern city of Adana reported hearing a loud explosion and sirens sounding at Incirlik Air Base, which is used by US forces, in the early hours of Friday.
No casualties were reported.
This week, NATO deployed an additional Patriot air defense system in the southeastern province of Malatya, where the Kurecik radar station is based.
The Defence Ministry stressed Thursday that Incirlik is a Turkish base – and that the foreign troop presence doesn't alter the base's status – in an apparent response to warnings from Tehran to regional countries not to host US military bases.
