Israel Targets Hamas Leader at Gaza Hospital in Air Strike

An Israeli air strike on a Gaza hospital results in the death of a senior Hamas leader and several injuries, escalating tensions in the region.


The attack on Nasser Hospital highlights ongoing conflicts, with Israel asserting intelligence-led action against Hamas officials.

The Israeli military has confirmed an air strike at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis that killed Ismail Barhoum, a prominent figure in Hamas overseeing financial operations. Barhoum was receiving medical treatment after sustaining injuries from an earlier air strike four days prior. According to a Hamas official, this targeted attack led to multiple injuries, including among medical staff, as extensive damage occurred in the hospital's premises.

Israeli forces stated the operation was conducted following thorough intelligence work and that they employed "precise munitions" to limit collateral damage. However, the Hamas-run health ministry reported extensive injuries and damage following the operation. Visual evidence verified by the BBC depicted valiant efforts by individuals trying to quell the flames that broke out post-strike.

Israel has consistently accused Hamas of misusing medical facilities as concealment for military activities, a claim that Hamas officially refutes. In a separate incident on the same day, another Hamas leader, Salah al-Bardaweel, was also killed due to an Israeli air strike in the same region.

Prior to the hospital attack, escalating violence in Khan Younis and Rafah had resulted in the deaths of at least 30 individuals, according to figures reported by the local health ministry. Military operations intensified in Gaza following the end of a ceasefire on March 18, which had previously calmed hostilities for nearly two months. The violence escalated markedly following Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, which resulted in a significant loss of life. Israel’s ongoing military offensive in Gaza has reportedly claimed over 50,000 lives, marking a severe humanitarian crisis as tensions continue to rise.
