Israeli strike on southern Gaza hospital kills five, Gaza civil defence says

The strike hit the surgery department and damaged the hospital, with medics saying the dead included surgeon Rezik Abushira and about 20 people were 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.
  • The Israeli military stated it targeted a "senior Hamas terrorist" and other militants, alleging Hamas "had established a presence within the hospital complex and used it as a command center" for operations against Israel.
  • 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."
  • The World Health Organisation documented 931 attacks on healthcare since October 2023, leaving 22 of Gaza's 38 hospitals non-functional by June 2024 and critically straining medical capacity.
  • Since the October 2025 ceasefire, at least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli operations, as Israel and Hamas trade accusations of violating the fragile agreement and medical infrastructure remains under persistent threat.
