Airstrikes hit Gaza hospital and city locations as extreme weather worsens conditions

Fresh Israeli military operations across the Gaza Strip have resulted in multiple fatalities, hitting medical infrastructure in Khan Younis and urban targets in Gaza City. Palestinian medical officials reported that an overnight attack on the surgery department of Nasser Hospital killed at least six people, including a surgeon and a teenager, while injuring 20 others. Israeli forces stated the facility housed an operational command hub used by senior Hamas operatives.

Additional strikes in northern Gaza killed several individuals, including a 13-year-old boy, hitting a commercial workshop and a shelter for displaced persons. Concurrently, severe winter weather and widespread flooding have compounded the humanitarian crisis for displaced families. Local health authorities confirmed the death of a nine-month-old infant due to extreme cold exposure.
