KHAN YUNIS: An Israeli strike killed six people and wounded nearly 30 more in southern Gaza's Nasser Hospital early Thursday, Gaza health officials said, the deadliest single strike since Israel's elections last month.

The Israeli military confirmed the attack, saying it targeted "a senior Hamas terrorist and additional terrorists from Hamas's military wing" it said were operating from the hospital, which it has long accused the Palestinian Islamist movement of using to shelter fighters. Hamas has denied this, and both parties frequently accuse each other of violating the terms of a US-backed ceasefire agreement that took effect in October 2025.

Nasser Hospital confirmed the six deaths in a statement. Gaza's civil defence agency said the bodies from the strike had been recovered from the targeted building, which according to a medical source was the surgery ward of Nasser Hospital, a sprawling medical complex in the southern city of Khan Yunis.

Israel is currently governed by a caretaker government under Benjamin Netanyahu following an inconclusive election, with opposition bloc head Gadi Eisenkot officially tasked with forming a new administration.

A journalist at the scene of the hospital strike reported that one of the building's exterior staircases had partially collapsed and that indoors, an entire floor was damaged, with broken concrete from collapsed walls mixed with broken medical equipment. "The surgery building was bombed by F-16 aircraft without any prior warning, resulting in a large number of patients being wounded, and many patients and doctors being killed," paramedic Ezzedin Abu Sabha said.

The Israeli military said it carried out an "aerial strike to eliminate the threat they posed, after the Hamas terrorist organisation had established a presence within the hospital complex and used it as a command centre". It said in a separate statement that Mohammed Abu Ismail, a Hamas commander for the Khan Yunis brigade, was killed in the strike.
