An Israeli air strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis killed at least six Palestinians early on Thursday, according to Gaza health officials and medics, and Israeli attacks across Gaza killed at least 10 people by midday. Reuters reported that those killed at Nasser included a surgeon and a teenage boy, and Al-Monitor said nearly 30 people were wounded in the deadliest single strike since Israel's elections last month. The Israeli military said it targeted a senior Hamas commander and other members of the group's military wing operating from the hospital, which it says Hamas used to store weapons, run command centers and plan attacks; these claims were not independently verified in the reports. Wafa reported that another Israeli strike hit near the gate of al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, killing at least one Palestinian, and Middle East Eye, citing Al Jazeera, said an Israeli drone also struck a group of people in central Gaza with multiple casualties. A nurse on Nasser's night shift told Medical Aid for Palestine that patients in her care were killed. The attacks come as a year-old ceasefire is under strain and add to concern over the safety of health infrastructure in Gaza.
