Israeli Airstrikes on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital Kill 9, Injure Over 20

Hospital sources in the Gaza Strip reported that nine Palestinians were killed in Israeli military airstrikes and shelling. Six of the victims died in a direct attack on Nasser Hospital in west Khan Younis, including a surgeon. The attack targeted the surgical ward and the second floor of the Elyasin building within the medical complex. Reuters, citing Gaza’s Civil Defense, reported that more than 20 others were injured in the attack. Hospital officials emphasized that the damage to critical medical facilities has severely disrupted the delivery of healthcare services. Repeated Israeli military attacks on healthcare centers in the Gaza Strip have raised serious concerns over the provision of health and humanitarian services for the local population, further complicating their daily lives.
