Israeli strike on Gaza's Nasser Hospital kills six amidst severe weather
An Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis killed six people, including a surgeon. Israel said it targeted a Hamas operational hub.
An overnight Israeli airstrike targeting the surgery department at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis killed at least six people and wounded 20 others, according to local medical staff and Gaza's civil defence agency. Among the victims were a surgeon and a teenage boy. Israel's military stated the operation targeted a senior Hamas militant and operational personnel using the medical facility as a command hub.
Additional strikes were reported across Gaza, including Gaza City, resulting in further casualties. Meanwhile, harsh winter conditions have worsened humanitarian distress in displaced persons' camps, where emergency workers reported a nine-month-old infant died from extreme cold exposure.
