Israel has accused the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a terrorist group based in Gaza, of being responsible for the airstrike on a hospital in Gaza City that killed hundreds of Palestinians.

The Israeli military provided evidence showing that a misfired rocket from the PIJ caused the strike.

PIJ is the second largest terrorist group in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, with ties to both Hamas and Hezbollah.

PIJ receives support from Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah, and shares in the goal of destroying Israel.

“Iran is trying for years, especially in the last few months, to have a terror organization, both the Islamic Jihad that is fully supported and financed by Iran, and Hamas terror organization that is also financed but not fully by Iran. They are calling them to attack Israel and Israelis,” said Lior Haiat, the spokesman for Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen.

Haiat added, “Those terror organizations [Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad] are working as proxies of the ayatollah regime.”

The group has carried out suicide attacks and is known to be funded by Iran.
