At least five Palestinians, including a reported surgeon, were killed and 20 others injured after an Israeli airstrike hit a building at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, early Thursday, according to the Hamas-run Civil Defence agency. Eyewitnesses said a missile struck a building housing surgical wards and intensive care units. The hospital director reported extensive damage to both departments. An earlier statement to AFP put the death toll at six. The BBC said it could not independently verify the details and that Israel had not immediately responded. The strike comes despite an October ceasefire, with both Israel and Hamas accusing each other of violations.
