Health officials in Gaza say the attack on the facility's surgery building killed six people and wounded many others.

The military says "a senior Hamas terrorist and additional terrorists" were operating within Nasser Hospital. It also says Hamas was storing weapons within the hospital complex and running command-and-control rooms from within it.

The hospital is one of the largest medical institutions in southern Gaza. It had also come under Israeli attack in the past.

Fighting between Israel and Hamas began in October 2023. A ceasefire agreement took effect in Gaza two years later. But the Israeli military has since mounted attacks intermittently, saying Hamas breached the deal.
