Senior Hamas official killed in Israeli strike on Nasser hospital, Gaza

A deadly Israeli airstrike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis has left at least two people dead, including senior Hamas official Ismail Barhoum and a 16-year-old boy, according to health officials and Hamas representatives.

The airstrike took place on Sunday evening, with Barhoum, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, confirmed as the target of the attack.

The 75-year-old was receiving treatment at the hospital when the strike occurred.

Hamas condemned the strike, calling it a violation of international law and accusing Israel of using hospitals as targets.

“We condemn this latest crime, which adds to the occupation’s long record of terrorism,” a Hamas spokesperson said in a statement.
