Israel bombs hospital in southern Gaza Strip, killing at least six people

Israel attacked the Gaza hospital in Nasser (south of the Strip) during the early hours of this Thursday, killing at least six people and wounding another thirty, including health personnel, according to sources from this medical center and confirmed by the Israeli Army.

Hospital staff sources, which include Gazan and British professionals, reported that the Israeli Army carried out two bombings against the surgical wing of the hospital shortly after midnight. The projectiles caused serious damage to the operating room complex, which was put out of service.

“During the night, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and the Shin Bet attacked a senior Hamas terrorist and additional terrorists from the military wing of Hamas, while operating inside the Nasser Hospital, in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip,” said a statement from the Israeli Army.
