Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital kills six in southern Gaza
An Israeli strike on Khan Younis's Nasser Hospital killed six, including a surgeon, as winter weather worsens conditions for displaced Gazans.
An Israeli overnight airstrike targeted the surgery department of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing at least six people and injuring 20 others. According to Gaza civil defence officials and medical staff, the deceased included a surgeon and a teenage boy, while the attack caused extensive structural damage to southern Gaza's primary medical facility.
The Israel Defense Forces stated the strike targeted a senior Hamas militant and other operational members using the hospital as a command hub. The military action coincides with worsening winter conditions across the enclave, where emergency workers reported that a nine-month-old infant died from severe cold exposure amidst widespread flooding in displaced persons' camps.
