The strike killed a surgeon and wounded about 20 people, according to Gaza civil defense, as the hospital building sustained extensive damage.
On Nov 12, an Israeli airstrike hit a building at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killing five people and wounding 20 others, a spokesman for Gaza's civil defence service reported.
The ongoing Israel-Hamas war began after Hamas-led fighters killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel on Oct 7, 2023, with Palestinian authorities reporting more than 74,000 deaths in the ensuing assault.
Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for Gaza's civil defence, stated the strike destroyed the surgery department at Nasser Hospital, and medics identified the dead surgeon as Rezik Abushira.
Since the ceasefire agreement, at least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks, according to health officials, while Israel reports four soldiers have been killed.
Israel says Hamas is currently trying to regroup and refill its arsenal, but Hamas claims it remains committed to the year-old ceasefire agreement, accusing Israel of trying to undermine it.
At least five people, including a surgeon, have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense.
