Israeli Strike on Southern Gaza Hospital Kills Five, Gaza Civil Defence Says
An Israeli strike on a hospital in southern Gaza killed five people, Gaza’s civil defence agency said, adding to the pressure on an already strained medical system.

What is known
The agency said the strike hit a hospital in southern Gaza. Further details, including the identity of those killed and whether patients or medical staff were among them, were not immediately clear.
Israel has said in past incidents that it targets militants and tries to avoid civilian casualties. Gaza health and civil defence officials say strikes have repeatedly hit civilian infrastructure.

Why it matters
Hospitals in Gaza have struggled with shortages of fuel, medicine, and safe access. Any strike near medical facilities can disrupt care for the wounded and sick.
Independent verification from inside Gaza remains difficult because of access limits and ongoing fighting. More updates are expected as local officials release further information.
