Quick Summary

An Israeli strike hit Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza on Thursday, killing six people and injuring around 20, according to a civil defence official. The Israeli military confirmed conducting the strike, claiming it was aimed at eliminating a security threat posed by Hamas using the hospital complex as a command center. Meanwhile, Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem called the attack a war crime. Additionally, another person died in central Gaza’s Al-Bureij camp from Israeli fire that same day. Israel and Hamas continue to accuse each other of violating the October 2025 ceasefire agreement following two years of conflict triggered by an October 7, 2023, Palestinian attack on Israel. Since then, over 1,590 Palestinians have been killed compared to seven Israeli soldiers and one civilian contractor.
