An Israeli airstrike hit the intensive care unit of Nasser Hospital in Gaza, killing at least six Palestinians and injuring more than 20 others, including medical staff and patients. The attack occurred during a military operation in the area.
The strike targeted the hospital’s intensive care unit, causing significant damage and disrupting critical care services. According to local reports, the attack left several patients and staff critically injured. The hospital is one of the main medical facilities in Gaza, serving a large portion of the population.
The Israeli military has conducted multiple strikes on Palestinian infrastructure in recent months, often citing security concerns. This incident follows a pattern of attacks on healthcare facilities, raising concerns about the impact on civilian populations. The Israeli Defense Forces have not yet issued a statement on the specific strike.
The attack adds to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where access to medical care is already severely limited. The Israeli military has imposed strict restrictions on movement and resources, exacerbating the challenges faced by local hospitals. The United Nations has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire and protection of civilian infrastructure.
The situation highlights the escalating violence in the region, with both sides continuing to escalate military actions. The international community has expressed concern over the increasing number of casualties and the destruction of essential services. The conflict remains a major point of tension in the Middle East.
