Israeli strike on Gaza's Nasser Hospital kills 6, health officials say
An Israeli airstrike hit the surgical wing of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, early Thursday. Gaza's Health Ministry said six people were killed, including a surgeon, and at least a dozen were wounded. Israel's military said it struck a Hamas commander and other militants who it said had turned the hospital complex into a headquarters; it did not provide evidence. The strike comes despite a U.S.-backed ceasefire that took effect in October 2025.
