Gaza's Al-Naser Hospital Attacked by Israeli Forces, At Least 6 Dead

Nasser Hospital, located in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, is one of the most important medical institutions in Gaza. The Gaza Strip's health department stated on the 12th that the Israeli military launched an airstrike on Nasser Hospital that day, resulting in at least 6 deaths and nearly 30 injuries. The attack targeted the hospital's surgical ward, with 6 of the deceased including doctors and patients.

Dr. Ayman, Chief of Surgery at Nasser Hospital: Our colleagues had just finished their work in the operating room and were about to go to the break room when suddenly the entire area was attacked, without any warning for us to evacuate or leave the area. Moreover, this is a civilian facility, and patients were being accommodated at the time.

Dr. Mohammed, Surgeon at Nasser Hospital: It was truly a horrifying scene. A central hospital, with patients lying in bed resting, suddenly came under attack. The level of destruction was astonishing, with debris, remains everywhere, and the screams of people; it was simply indescribable. Some patients unfortunately died, while the families of other patients hurriedly carried their loved ones to other places; the scene was beyond description.

Nasser Hospital's director, Ahmad, condemned the Israeli military's attack on the hospital during the ceasefire, stating that the military's actions showed a disregard for international law and the United Nations Charter.

The Israel Defense Forces and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) issued a statement the same day claiming that they conducted a precise strike against senior Hamas militants within the hospital.
