Israeli strike on Gaza's Nasser Hospital kills six as winter conditions worsen
An Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital killed six people, including a surgeon, as severe winter weather worsens Gaza's humanitarian situation.
An Israeli overnight airstrike hit the surgery department of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, killing at least six people and injuring 20 others, according to local emergency services. Gaza officials reported that a surgeon and a teenager were among the dead. The Israel Defense Forces stated the strike targeted a senior Hamas operational hub operating inside the medical facility.
Additional strikes were reported across Gaza City and nearby tent encampments, resulting in further casualties. Meanwhile, severe winter weather and heavy flooding across the enclave have intensified the ongoing humanitarian crisis, leading to the death of a nine-month-old infant in a temporary shelter.
