spain are announcing that we recognize the stitt of palestine. >> reporter: they made the announcement alongside the spanish and norwegian ministers. the move is both rare and significant. only a handful of european countries already recognize a palestinian state. and the three leaders said they hope others will follow as part of global pressure to push israel to accept a political process that could end the fighting in gaza. at a hospital in the northern jabalia refugee camp, 150 medics and patients had to run for their lives after the israeli military carried out repeated strikes nearby. one patient was pushed through the streets still in his hospital bed. to the south, more violence and more death. a cbs news deep was at the al aqsa hospital after an israeli strike killed at least 12, including small children and this infant, removed from his
