At least six Palestinians, including a surgeon and a child, have lost their lives in an attack by Israeli forces on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza. Palestinian authorities report major damage in the surgery department. Israel says the target of the attack was a Hamas commander. The attack hit a hospital structure where patients were being treated and where medical staff were working, including the surgeon who lost his life. Other circumstances of the incident have not been disclosed by the parties. They continue to give differing accounts of what happened inside and around the hospital. In addition to the human toll, significant material damage is reported in the surgery department, one of the busiest areas of the hospital.
