Israeli strikes hit Gaza hospital and city areas as infant dies from cold
Israeli airstrikes hit Nasser Hospital and Gaza City, leaving several dead, while extreme winter weather caused the death of an infant in a refugee camp.
Israeli overnight airstrikes struck the surgery department at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killing at least six people including a surgeon and a teenager, according to local emergency services. Israeli defense forces stated the operation targeted a senior Hamas operational hub operating inside the medical complex. Separate strikes across Gaza City and surrounding encampments reported additional fatalities. Meanwhile, humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate across the enclave, where severe winter flooding and freezing temperatures led to the death of a nine-month-old infant in a temporary tent shelter.
