The strike hit the surgical ward and left the hospital’s services suspended, with Gaza health officials saying at least six people were killed and more than 20 wounded.
- On Thursday, an Israeli airstrike hit the surgery department of Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, killing at least five people, including surgeon Rezik Abushira, and wounding about 20 others.

- Gaza's Civil Defence reported extensive damage to surgery and intensive care wards, while a Hamas spokesperson described the strike as a "fully-fledged war crime."
