An Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killed at least five people and wounded 20 others as of November 12, 2026, according to Gaza’s civil defence service. The strike hit the surgery department of the hospital, causing extensive damage and reportedly killing a surgeon named Rezik Abushira.
