Israel bombs Gaza’s Nasser Hospital again, killing patients

At least five people were killed and several others wounded when an Israeli air strike targeted Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, on Sunday night.

The attack destroyed a large section of the hospital, forcing the evacuation of an entire department, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

The Israeli military admitted to carrying out the bombing, justifying it by claiming it was aimed at “terrorists.”

Among those killed was Ismail Barhoum, a senior Hamas political figure, who was receiving treatment at the hospital for wounds sustained in an earlier Israeli strike.

Hamas denounced the attack as a “cowardly Zionist assassination” and accused Israel of deliberately targeting Palestinian leaders, civilians, and Gaza’s already devastated healthcare system.
