- On Thursday, November 12, 2026, an Israeli airstrike hit the surgical department of Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, killing six people, including surgeon Dr. Rizk Abu Shaira, and wounding at least 20 others.
- The Israel Defense Forces stated they targeted Hamas Khan Younis Brigade commander Muhammad Abu Ismail, alleging the hospital served as a command center, claims Palestinian health authorities deny.
- Hospital director Ahmed al-Farra announced the immediate suspension of surgical, radiology, and laboratory operations, noting nearby facilities lack capacity for the specialized procedures Nasser had been providing.
- Gaza's health ministry condemned the attack as a "flagrant violation of international laws," while Physicians for Human Rights Israel warned repeated strikes are devastating the territory's shattered medical infrastructure.
- Nasser Hospital has been targeted seven times since October 2023, as the World Health Organization reports 94 percent of hospitals in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged.
