Israel Used a U.S.-Made Missile to Kill Six at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital
“That’s not complicity," said a U.S. doctor. "That's active participation in the murder of physicians and other healthcare workers.” The post Israel Used a U.S.-Made Missile to Kill Six at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital appeared first on The Intercept .
Two doctors, Thaer Ahmad and Feroze Sidhwa, worked at Nasser Hospital in Gaza providing medical care as volunteers. They recently returned from New York to see their film about their experiences. On Wednesday, they learned that the hospital had been targeted by another Israeli airstrike. Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira, a seasoned surgeon who had worked alongside Ahmad and Sidhwa, was among the six killed.
The attack damaged several hospital departments, including emergency, surgery, radiology, and laboratory. Israeli officials claimed they targeted a Hamas commander, but the target was never confirmed. The attack marks Israel's fourth strike on a hospital since a ceasefire in October 2025, and the seventh on the Nasser complex. It highlights the normalization of targeting hospitals in Gaza.
Ahmad and Sidhwa have lobbied for U.S. lawmakers to support a ban on sales of certain weapons to Israel, including Boeing's GBU-39 missiles, which were used in the attack.
