An Israeli air strike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza killed six people, including a surgeon and a 13-year-old boy, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. The Israeli military said the strike was targeting a Hamas commander and other militants, without providing evidence. The hospital's director said two missiles hit a building containing surgical wards and intensive care units, but that one of the missiles did not explode. The health ministry said medical staff, patients and companions were killed, among them surgeon Dr Rizq Abu Shaira. It condemned the attack as a 'flagrant violation of international laws and conventions'. The Israeli military said it targeted a commander of Hamas's armed wing and other fighters who had used the hospital as a 'headquarters' to plan attacks on its forces.
