Quick Summary

An Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza early Thursday killed six people and wounded at least a dozen more, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The strike reportedly targeted "a senior Hamas terrorist" operating within the hospital, though Israel did not provide evidence for this claim. Nasser Hospital is one of the few functioning medical facilities left in Gaza; it has been previously attacked by Israeli forces, including an incident in 2025 that killed five journalists. Since the conflict began on October 7, 2023, over 74,600 people have died in Gaza due to Israel's retaliatory offensive, with more than 1,622 additional deaths since a ceasefire went into effect in October 2025.
