The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet security agency conducted an overnight airstrike targeting a senior Hamas operative and other militants who were allegedly hiding within Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

According to the IDF, the strike was carried out to neutralize an immediate threat, as the targeted individuals were advancing terror plans against Israeli civilians and forces. The military stated that Hamas had established a military and terror command center within the hospital complex, using it for operational activities against Israeli forces and the state.

The IDF detailed that Hamas's alleged use of the hospital included storing weapons, conducting interrogations and torture by its internal security and intelligence units, operating command and control rooms, and utilizing hospital facilities as observation posts and shelters for militants. The military condemned Hamas's "cynical exploitation" of civilian and medical infrastructure for military purposes, which endangers patients, medical staff, and civilians.

Precautions were reportedly taken before and during the strike to minimize civilian casualties, including the use of precision-guided munitions and aerial surveillance. The IDF stated it would provide updates on the strike's results.
