| CBC News LoadedOttawa has a "high degree of confidence" that Israel did not strike the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday after an independent review by the Canadian military, Defence Minister Bill Blair said in a statement late Saturday evening.An independent review conducted by the Canadian military determined a rocket fired from inside the Gaza Strip was responsible for a deadly strike at the al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City on Oct. 17.
President Joe Biden said during a visit to Israel on Wednesday that he was confident the "other team" bore responsibility. A statement from the Department of National Defence on Saturday evening said that the analysis was based on open source and classified reporting. The latest conflict had begun 10 days earlier when Hamas militants crossed the border into Israel and conducted a series of brazen attacks on civilians.
International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen issued a statement from Cairo, Egypt, saying the federal government will ensure none of the money goes to Hamas. "As Canada's partners make their growing needs known, this new assistance will allow us to provide them funding quickly so they can scale up their efforts to help people in urgent need."
