Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Gaza kills six
An Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis killed six people, health authorities said. Reports say the victims included a surgeon, and about 20 people were hurt. Witnesses said a missile hit a building with surgical wards and intensive care units. Israel said it targeted a Hamas commander and militants, and that Hamas used the buildings as a command center.
Why it matters
Attacks on hospitals reduce care for a population already facing a humanitarian emergency.
Background
Israel and Hamas have fought in Gaza for years. Nasser is the largest hospital in southern Gaza.
