## Summary

An Israeli air strike hit surgery wards at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing at least six Palestinians, including a surgeon and a 13-year-old boy, according to medics. The attack further undermined Gaza’s year-old ceasefire and disabled a department serving around half the territory’s population.

Israel said it targeted Hamas commander Muhammad Abu Ismail and alleged militants were operating from the hospital, a claim Hamas denied. Two missiles reportedly struck the five-storey building, injuring 20 people; three more Palestinians were killed in separate incidents on Thursday. Separately, a nine-month-old baby died of hypothermia in his family’s displacement tent as cold and flooding continue to endanger displaced people.
