Israeli strike on Gaza hospital kills 6, and other Mideast news

Early Thursday in the Gaza Strip, an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital resulted in the deaths of six people, including a doctor, and at least a dozen others were injured. The hospital, which remains one of the few functioning medical facilities in Gaza, was targeted while the surgical wing was under attack. Israel claimed they struck a senior Hamas terrorist and other militants, but provided no evidence to support this assertion.

The Israeli military stated the strike aimed at destroying parts of the building's second floor. Following the attack, Israel's Foreign Ministry condemned France's decision to deny entry to Israeli settler leader Yossi Dagan, who was participating in settlement policy in the West Bank. France had also banned other Israeli officials involved in settlement policy, such as Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.
