Israeli strike hits Gaza hospital, killing 5 and wounding 20
What's new: Gaza civil defence said the strike damaged Nasser Hospital's surgery department and killed surgeon Rezik Abushira.
An Israeli airstrike hit a building at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis early on Nov. 12, killing at least five people and wounding 20 others, Gaza's civil defence service said. Spokesman Mahmoud Basal said the strike hit the surgery department and caused extensive damage. Medics identified one of the dead as surgeon Rezik Abushira. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military. Israel has intensified attacks in Gaza, saying Hamas is trying to regroup and replenish its arsenal. Hamas says it remains committed to a year-old ceasefire and has accused Israel of undermining the deal.
