Israeli strikes hit Gaza medical center as severe weather claims infant
An Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital killed six people, while harsh winter weather caused the death of an infant in Gaza.
Israeli forces conducted overnight airstrikes across Gaza, targeting the surgery department at Khan Younis's Nasser Hospital. Local medical officials reported that at least six people were killed, including a surgeon, while 20 others sustained injuries. The Israeli military stated the operation targeted a senior Hamas militant and an operational hub active inside the facility. Additional strikes were reported in Gaza City and surrounding areas, resulting in further casualties. Concurrently, freezing temperatures and flooding are aggravating conditions for displaced families, with local health authorities confirming the death of a nine-month-old infant due to extreme cold exposure in a temporary shelter camp.
