The Israeli military (IDF) conducted an airstrike in Khan Younis, Gaza, targeting a senior Hamas operative and others within the Nasser Hospital complex. The IDF stated that Hamas had been conducting interrogations and torture of individuals within the hospital grounds. Palestinian reports, citing Gaza's civil defense spokesperson, claimed the strike hit the hospital's surgical department, resulting in at least six deaths and twenty injuries. The hospital administration confirmed the fatalities.
The IDF has not yet officially commented on the specific incident, but a spokesperson told AFP that the matter is under review. The military has previously expressed strong disapproval of Hamas's alleged use of civilian and medical infrastructure for military purposes.
This incident follows a previous strike near Nasser Hospital in August 2025, which resulted in civilian casualties and prompted an IDF investigation into the use of munitions. In that instance, IDF forces identified a Hamas observer near the hospital who was allegedly directing fire towards them.
Separately, Israel is reportedly preparing to allow dual-use equipment into Gaza for sanitation infrastructure repairs, despite Hamas's continued armament. This move, influenced by significant U.S. pressure to address winter preparedness and prevent further humanitarian distress, aims to ensure the equipment does not fall into Hamas's hands. The first planned project involves repairing wastewater treatment facilities within the Strip.
