  "account": "Six people, including a surgeon named Rizk Abu Shaira, were killed in an Israeli air strike on Nasser Hospital in Gaza. Palestinian health authorities reported at least 20 people were injured in the attack, which happened in the early hours of Thursday morning. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed Hamas had been using the hospital as a command centre and a storage facility for weapons. The IDF provided video evidence of extensive damage to the hospital and stated they took steps to minimize harm to civilians, including using precision munitions and aerial surveillance. Palestinian health authorities condemned the strike, calling it a \"fully fledged war crime\" and emphasizing the continued targeting of hospitals exacerbates the suffering of the sick and wounded. Hamas labeled the strike a war crime, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described it as a \"tragic mishap\" and launched an investigation. The death toll in Gaza now stands at over 74,600 people since the October 2023 ceasefire, with many of the victims being civilians, including women and children.",
