An Israeli strike hit the surgery department of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, killing at least six people and wounding at least 20, according to Gaza's civil defence agency. The strike caused extensive damage to the facility, which was treating casualties at the time. The civil defence agency's spokesperson said the attack hit the hospital's surgery department and left the building heavily damaged. BBC World reported the strike on Wednesday, and the report did not include a response from the Israeli military. Khan Younis is one of the main centres of humanitarian care in southern Gaza, and the strike adds to concerns about the safety of medical facilities in the territory.
