Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital kills six; nine dead across Gaza
An Israeli strike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis killed at least six people and injured 20, according to Gaza civil defence and rescue workers. Israel confirmed it targeted the commander of Hamas's Khan Younis Brigade in the hospital complex. Across Gaza, Israeli attacks killed at least nine Palestinians on Wednesday, including five in a tent camp strike. The United Nations issued an emergency appeal for waterproof tents to shelter hundreds of thousands displaced by heavy rains and flooding.
Why it matters
The attack on a functioning hospital escalates concerns over protection of medical facilities under international humanitarian law. Israel says Hamas embeds fighters in civilian infrastructure; Palestinians and UN agencies say strikes cause disproportionate civilian harm. The UN appeal underscores a deepening shelter crisis as winter rains flood displacement camps across the enclave.
