An Israeli airstrike on Wednesday night hit the Nasser Hospital complex in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, killing at least six people and injuring at least 20 others, according to medics and Hamas’s civil defense agency.
Rescuers and medics reported that the strike forced a shutdown of the hospital’s surgical ward and damaged storage facilities, leaving medical supplies and equipment destroyed.
The hospital’s spokesperson, Khalil al-Daqran, told the Anadolu news agency that two of the four storage facilities were completely destroyed and two others were badly damaged, calling the attack a “heinous crime.”
Rescuers worked through the night to search for survivors and transport the injured to other hospitals.

Zach Dyer, in a recent report, highlighted the disappearance of hospital units treating critically ill children and the increasing violence against hospital workers, which has fueled calls for mandatory staffing rules.
