An Israeli airstrike on a building at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killed at least four people and injured several others, according to Gaza’s civil defence.
An Israeli aircraft struck a structure within the Nasser Hospital compound in Khan Younis, a city in the southern Gaza Strip, in the early hours of Thursday. The blast hit a building that housed medical and support facilities, according to local authorities.
Gaza’s civil defence service confirmed that at least four civilians were killed in the attack and that several others sustained injuries requiring medical attention. Rescue teams worked amid ongoing shelling to extract the wounded and clear debris.
The civil defence spokesperson, speaking to Reuters, said the strike targeted a civilian location and underscored the growing toll on non‑combatants in the densely populated enclave. No further details on the identities of the victims or the extent of the damage were released at the time.
The incident adds to a series of airstrikes reported across Gaza in recent weeks, intensifying concerns among humanitarian agencies about the safety of medical facilities and the ability to provide care to the population.
