Watch: At least six Palestinians killed in Israeli attack on Nasser hospital

An Israeli strike at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza resulted in the death of six individuals and injuries to approximately 20 others, according to a civil defense official. The bodies of the deceased and over 20 wounded were recovered from a building within the medical complex. Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesperson for the Gaza Strip's civil defense, confirmed the six fatalities.

Nasser Hospital issued a statement verifying the six deaths. Israel's military spokesperson indicated they were investigating the incident upon request for comment. Both Israel and Hamas have been at odds, accusing each other of violating a ceasefire that began in October 2025 following a prolonged conflict that commenced with a large-scale attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023.

On Tuesday, Israeli forces reportedly killed seven individuals, including a 13-year-old boy, in the Gaza Strip, while the Israeli military claimed they had targeted military operatives. Since the ceasefire began, over 1,590 Palestinians have lost their lives, as reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health under Hamas authority. Simultaneously, the Israeli military has suffered the loss of seven soldiers and one civilian contractor during the same period.
