Israeli strike on south Gaza's Nasser Hospital kills at least six Palestinians

An Israeli air strike targeting the Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza early on Thursday has killed at least six Palestinians and injured more than 20 others. 

The strike hit the second floor of  al-Yasin building within the medical complex, with the hospital’s director indicating that it caused extensive damage to the intensive care and surgical wards.

While Israeli Army Radio claimed that the strike was an "assassination operation", the casualties were staff and patients, including some people who were scheduled to undergo surgery the following day.
