CAIRO – An Israeli airstrike on a building at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killed at least five people, including a surgeon and wounded 20 others early on Nov 12, a spokesman for Gaza’s civil defence service told Reuters.

Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for the territory’s civil defence, said the Israeli airstrike hit the surgery department at Nasser Hospital, causing extensive damage.

Israel, which has stepped up its attacks on the enclave, says Hamas is trying to regroup and refill its arsenal.

Hamas says it is committed to a year-old ceasefire agreement and accuses Israel of trying to undermine it.

At least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since the ceasefire agreement, according to the territory’s health officials, while Israel says four soldiers have been killed.

Palestinian authorities say more than 74,000 people have been killed in Israel’s assault on Gaza. Israel launched its offensive after Hamas-led fighters killed about 1,200 people, by Israeli tallies, in southern Israel in an attack on Oct 7, 2023. REUTERS
