On October 18, the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement in Lebanon condemned the explosion at a hospital in the Gaza Strip, attributing it to Israel and called for a “Day of Rage.” Hezbollah referred to the incident as a “massacre” and a “heinous crime” on Tuesday, stating, “Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be a day of anger against the enemy.” The Israel Defense Forces have claimed that the explosion at the Gaza hospital was caused by a rocket fired by the Islamic Jihad, resulting in reports of numerous casualties. Both Hamas and many Arab countries have held Israel responsible for the incident.
