The strike targeted the critical care facility at Nasser Hospital, one of Gaza's major medical institutions, the Civil Defence confirmed on Wednesday. Emergency responders were deployed to the scene following the strike, though access to the facility and casualty figures remain difficult to verify independently amid the ongoing conflict.
Nasser Hospital has served as a key medical facility throughout the current crisis in Gaza, treating wounded civilians and operating essential healthcare services. The strike adds to documented damage to healthcare infrastructure across the territory during recent military operations.
The incident comes amid mounting international concern over civilian casualties and the protection of medical facilities in conflict zones. The United Nations and various humanitarian organizations have repeatedly called for the safeguarding of hospitals and healthcare workers operating in active conflict areas.
