An Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis killed six people, including a surgeon. Israel reported targeting a Hamas hub, while extreme weather compounds Gaza's crisis.
An overnight Israeli airstrike targeting the surgery department at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis resulted in at least six deaths and injured 20 others, according to local medical officials. The victims included a surgeon and a teenager. The Israeli military confirmed the strike, stating it targeted an operational command hub used by senior Hamas operatives inside the facility.
Additional strikes were reported in Gaza City and northern areas, impacting a commercial workshop and a shelter for displaced persons. Palestinian officials reported that a 13-year-old boy was among the fatalities in northern Gaza. Meanwhile, harsh winter weather has exacerbated conditions across the enclave, where local authorities confirmed a nine-month-old infant died from severe cold exposure.
