Israeli strikes on Gaza hospital and tent camp kill at least 12, IDF says it targeted Hamas commander
Israeli forces struck Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis and a tent camp in Gaza on Tuesday, killing at least 12 Palestinians and wounding 20, according to Gaza health officials and civil defence. The IDF confirmed the hospital strike, saying it targeted a senior Hamas commander and other operatives. Separate strikes in Yemen overnight killed at least one person and wounded nine. Iranian and U.S. officials traded accusations over regional escalation, while Iran denied involvement in a French supermarket cyberattack.
Why it matters
The strike on Nasser Hospital marks another attack on Gaza's collapsing medical infrastructure, where intensive care units have been repeatedly hit. Israel says Hamas embeds fighters in civilian sites; Palestinians and rights groups say the strikes violate international law. The Yemen strikes widen the regional front, linking to Houthi attacks on shipping. U.S.-Iran tensions remain high as both sides blame the other for proxy violence.
