Gaza: Several dead after Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital

According to the Hamas-controlled Civil Defense, eleven people were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip.

Six people died in an attack at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis in the south of the region. According to a doctor working there, 30 other people were also injured. "The surgical wing was bombed by F16 aircraft without any warning, resulting in a large number of injured patients and many patients and doctors killed," said medic Essedin Abu Sabha.

According to Civil Defense, there was also one death due to Israeli shelling in the Burayj refugee camp, one death each in an Israeli drone attack near Deir al-Balah and in Jabalia, and two deaths in an Israeli attack on a vehicle near the Shifa clinic.

Israel speaks of attacks on terrorists, Hamas of war crimes

The Israeli army said it had targeted "a senior Hamas terrorist and other terrorists from Hamas' military wing" in the attack on Nasser Hospital. Hamas had set up a command center on the hospital grounds. In a separate statement, the Israeli army said the attack killed Mohammed Abu Ismail, a Hamas commander in Khan Yunis' brigade. The Israeli army said Abu Ismail was "responsible for ordering terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers and for taking numerous hostages during the course of the war."

Hamas denied in a statement that it was using the hospital for military purposes and said Israel was constructing "a false narrative" to justify attacks. Hamas spokesman Hasem Qassem condemned the Israeli attack as a "war crime." He accused the so-called Peace Council of failing to prevent the attack. The body set up by US President Donald Trump is supposed to monitor the ceasefire plan for the Gaza Strip.
