Israel struck a hospital in Gaza, six dead, but the fate of the target is unknown

An Israeli airstrike hit the Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, resulting in fatalities and injuries among patients and medical staff. The hospital director reported that two rockets struck the surgical and intensive care units, causing significant damage. Survivors described the chaos during the attack, which occurred as medical staff were preparing to rest after their shifts. The Israeli military claimed the strike targeted Hamas militants using the hospital as a command center. Hamas denied the allegations, asserting that Israel was attempting to cover up war crimes. This incident marks another attack on a hospital amid ongoing violence, with over 1,620 Palestinians reportedly killed since a ceasefire was established in October 2025.
