Minister says around 50 people died in blast, not 500

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 24 - Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Tuesday that Israel's assertion that it was not behind the blast at the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City last week was true.
    The explosion was blamed on Israel by Hamas and led to angry protests in many parts of the Islamic world.
    "It seems to me that common sense has prevailed in Israel up to now," Tajani told SkyTg24.
    "The reaction to the cowardly attack they suffered has been proportionate.
    "So far they have only hit Hamas facilities.
    "Even the missile that hit a hospital in Gaza, which was initially attributed to Israel, was not an Israeli missile.
    "It fell on the hospital car park and caused around 50 deaths, not the 500 reported.
    "We must prevent propaganda from playing a negative role, inflaming the Arab masses". (ANSA).
