Air strike kills at least seven at Mosul hospital – Amaq

A video uploaded by Islamic State-affiliated Amaq News Agency on Thursday (December 29) purports to show dead bodies after an air strike on a hospital by the U.S.-led coalition near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.
The U.S. military said on Thursday that the air strike hit a van in a hospital compound parking lot and could have killed civilians. It said a van carrying Islamic State fighters was targeted and hit in the air strike.
The Amaq video shows widespread damage to the hospital, with dead bodies lying on the floor splattered with blood.

An unidentified man in the video said seven people were killed in the strike. It was not possible to independently verify his statement.
Iraqi forces, backed by the U.S. have retaken about a quarter of Mosul city from Islamic State since launching an offensive against the militants in mid-October
