Following hours of silence amid criticism, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet jointly announced Thursday morning that they had conducted an airstrike overnight targeting a senior Hamas operative and others within Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
The military stated that the strike was carried out from the air to neutralize an immediate threat, as the targeted individuals were advancing terror plans against Israeli civilians and forces. The IDF and Shin Bet asserted that Hamas had embedded itself within the hospital, using it as a command center for military and terror activities against Israel.
