An Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza kills six people and wounds others, Gaza civil defence and health authorities say. Multiple outlets report the deaths occur at the medical complex in Khan Younis’ west, with injured people brought to hospital and bodies recovered from a hospital building.

Israel’s military says it carried out the strike to eliminate a threat, claiming Hamas had established a presence and used the hospital complex as an operational hub or command centre. Hamas and Gaza officials describe the attack as a war crime, with Hamas alleging responsibility for failing to prevent the strike within ceasefire oversight. Some reports also mention other fatalities elsewhere in Gaza and refer to a ceasefire that has been in place since October 2025.

Across coverage, reported casualty counts vary slightly—ranging from “around 20” to “at least a dozen” injured—and some outlets specify that among the dead are medical staff, including a surgeon. While all accounts attribute the strike to Israel and cite local authorities’ death toll, details about Israeli rationale and the precise injury figures differ.
