## Summary

An Israeli airstrike hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing six people, including surgeon Rizk Abu Shaaira, and injuring 52, according to Gaza health officials and Médecins Sans Frontières. The strike damaged several departments and forced the closure of emergency, surgery, radiology and laboratory services at a hospital serving about 1.3 million people.

Israel said it targeted a Hamas commander with a precision-guided missile. Medical workers found unexploded ordnance labelled GBU-39/B, a missile model made by Boeing and purchased by Israel with US State Department funds. The article says this was the fourth Israeli strike on a hospital since an October 2025 ceasefire agreement and the seventh attack on the Nasser complex since 2023; two US doctors who had volunteered there condemned the attack.
