Quick Summary

Israel struck Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza early Thursday morning, killing six people and injuring at least a dozen others. The attack hit the hospital’s surgical wing, destroying parts of its second floor according to an Associated Press journalist on site. Among those killed was a doctor. Israel’s military claimed it targeted “a senior Hamas terrorist” and other militants but did not provide evidence for this claim. Meanwhile, French authorities barred Yossi Dagan, an Israeli settler leader in the occupied West Bank, from entering France due to his role in settlement policy there.
