At least six Palestinians have been killed and 20 others injured in an Israeli strike on the Nasser Hospital complex in Khan Younis in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and internal security agency Shin Bet claimed responsibility for the overnight attack. Occupying forces alleged that Mohammad Abu Ismail, commander of Hamas's Khan Younis Brigade, was inside the hospital complex and was the primary target of the strike.
In a joint statement, the Israeli military and intelligence agency claimed that Abu Ismail and his associates were hiding within the Nasser Hospital compound. They alleged his role involved directing the brigade's operations and planning attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians.
Target status unconfirmed amid ongoing ceasefire violations
Abu Ismail assumed leadership of the Khan Younis Brigade after its former commander was killed in an Israeli strike last September. Israel further claimed that several Hamas fighters who took Israelis hostage on 7 October 2023 were operating under Abu Ismail's command.
However, Israeli authorities have yet to confirm whether Abu Ismail survived or was killed in the strike, with intelligence officials stating that efforts are underway to ascertain his condition.
Despite a ceasefire agreement reached between Hamas and Israel last year, Israeli forces continue to carry out near-daily strikes across Gaza, steadily driving up the Palestinian death toll.
