LONDON, October 23. /TASS/. UK intelligence services have concluded that the recent strike on Al-Ahli Hospital was caused by a missile fired from within the Gaza Strip, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in parliament.

He said that based on data from UK special services and weapons analysts, "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."

"The misreporting of this incident had a negative effect in the region, including on a vital U.S. diplomatic effort and on tensions here at home," Sunak said.

Al-Ahli Hospital was hit on October 17. According to Palestinian data, the strike killed 471 people and injured 342 others. Palestine put the responsibility for the incident on the Israeli Air Force, while Israel said the explosion at the hospital was caused by a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that went off course after it was fired. The strike derailed plans to hold a four-way summit in Amman, which was scheduled to be attended by Egyptian and US Presidents Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Joe Biden, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan's King Abdullah II.
