The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a targeted strike on a Hezbollah command center located on the second floor of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza. According to the IDF, this section of the hospital was exclusively used for military operations and holding hostages, and was not accessible to civilians.
The military stated that the hospital complex was actively utilized by Hezbollah for planning attacks against Israeli soldiers and for the recovery of its units. Additionally, dozens of hostages, including residents of Kibbutz Nahal Oz, were held at the facility. Among those held were women, children, the elderly, and foreign nationals.
The IDF identified Muhammad Abu Ismail, the Khan Yunis Brigade Commander, as responsible for holding several hostages, including Nimrod Cohen, Matan Zangauker, Edan Alexander, Avera Mengistu, Colonel Asaf Hamami, Staff Sergeant Oz Daniel, and Captain Omer Neutra.
