Trudeau made his remarks when asked about the strike, which health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave said had killed hundreds of people. Canada has stressed that Israel must abide by international law as it strikes back against Hamas over attacks that killed more than 1,300 people. "The news coming out of Gaza is horrific and absolutely unacceptable ... international law needs to be respected in this and in all cases. There are rules around wars and it's not acceptable to hit a hospital," Trudeau told reporters.U.S. President Joe Biden's already fraught trip to Israel and Jordan got more complicated after hundreds of Palestinians were killed in a strike on a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.
