Summary
Six Palestinians, including a prominent surgeon, were killed and at least 20 wounded when an Israeli missile hit Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, damaging the surgery department and ICU.
Hospital director Raed al-Dahshan said the missile pierced several floors and that most casualties were patients, some due for surgery the next day; Israel said it was targeting a Hamas commander.
The strike hit the only hospital still standing in Khan Younis, serving about 500,000 people, and came amid near-daily attacks despite an October 2025 ceasefire that Gaza officials say has already seen 1,600 Palestinians killed.
Across Gaza, Israeli attacks killed at least 13 Palestinians that day as the UN urgently sought waterproof shelter after weekend rains flooded 70,000 tents and affected at least 106,000 people.
