An Israeli airstrike targeting a building within Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, killed Khaled Abu Anza, a senior security official in Hamas. The new commander of the Khan Younis brigade was critically injured in the same attack. Abu Anza was considered Hamas's top security official in the southern Gaza region, and his brother Osama serves as the governor of Khan Younis.
The Israeli raid resulted in the deaths of six Palestinians, including Abu Anza and two of his aides, along with Dr. Rizk Abu Sheira. Over 30 people were injured, including patients, their companions, and medical staff.
The strike occurred after midnight, initiated by an F-16 warplane firing a missile at the second floor, designated for surgeries, within the "Al-Yassin" building. Civil defense reported the missile penetrated multiple floors before hitting its target. Field sources suggest a small but highly lethal GBU missile may have been used.
Separately, Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday killed at least seven Palestinians, including field operatives from Hamas.
