Strike on Hospital Highlights Israeli Attacks on Gaza Health System
- On May 13, 2025, Israeli airstrikes struck two hospitals in Khan Younis, Gaza—the Nasser hospital and the European Hospital—resulting in the deaths of at least 30 individuals, including patients and healthcare workers.
- These attacks followed Israel's military campaign that began after Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, during which Gaza's healthcare system has suffered severe damage under siege conditions.
