The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet general security service confirmed a joint operation targeting the Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, on Thursday, November 12. According to their statement, the strike aimed to eliminate a senior Hamas operative and other terrorists who were allegedly using the hospital as a base for planning attacks against Israelis and soldiers. The IDF stated that Hamas has entrenched itself within the medical complex, turning it into a headquarters for military and terrorist activities against Israel.
The IDF and Shin Bet detailed Hamas's alleged use of the Nasser hospital, including storing weapons and ammunition, conducting interrogations and torture, operating command and control centers, and using hospital buildings as observation posts and shelters for terrorists. Israeli security forces assert that this constitutes a grave violation of international law and the use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes. They claim Hamas deliberately endangers patients, medical staff, and civilians by using the hospital as cover.
Measures were reportedly taken to minimize civilian harm during the strike, including the use of precision munitions and aerial surveillance. The IDF stated it would later provide details on the operation's results, withholding the names of the targeted terrorists. Earlier reports from Gaza sources indicated at least six fatalities and over 20 injuries from the strike, which allegedly hit the surgical and intensive care units of the Al-Yassin building. Among the reported deceased was surgeon Razik Abu-Shaira, and potentially Khalid Abu Anza, a Hamas security official, though his death has not been officially confirmed by the IDF.
In support of their claims, the Israeli military released a diagram of the Nasser complex highlighting alleged Hamas infrastructure and an infographic on the use of Gaza hospitals for terror. They also released an audio recording of a conversation between an IDF liaison officer and a Gaza health official regarding Hamas's use of medical facilities. The IDF and Shin Bet reiterated their commitment to continuing operations against terrorist infrastructure, viewing Hamas's use of hospitals as a significant security threat.
