Israeli Airstrike Hits Nasser Hospital in Gaza; Hamas Denies Military Use
The Israeli military justified its airstrike on Nasser Hospital in the city of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza by claiming that the hospital had been turned into a Hamas military operations base. According to the Israeli forces, Hamas command and control rooms were active inside the hospital complex, and the group’s fighters used it as a shelter.
However, Hamas has denied these claims, labeling them as mere pretexts to justify repeated crimes targeting medical facilities. A Hamas spokesperson described the attack on the hospital as a full-scale war crime and an unprecedented terrorist act that resulted in the deaths of patients and medical staff.
Reports indicate that the airstrike, which occurred early Thursday, killed at least six Palestinians and injured more than fifty others. This incident has once again raised international concerns over violations of international law and human rights by the occupying regime.
Hospitals and medical centers in conflict zones have consistently been targeted by Israeli forces, drawing widespread global criticism and condemnation. The prolonged hostilities in Gaza have severely affected civilian life and turned access to medical services into a significant challenge.
