Gaza: Israel Says It Targeted a Hamas Commander in Hospital Compound
The military said it warned Gaza health officials two days earlier and claimed the commander was preparing attacks against soldiers and civilians.
- On Saturday, the Israeli military targeted a Hamas commander within the compound of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, saying the operative "was hiding within the compound" while preparing attacks against Israeli forces and civilians.
- The strike occurred despite a US-brokered ceasefire in effect since October 2025, as Israel continues targeting Palestinians it identifies as militants to eliminate threats stemming from the October 7, 2023 attack.
- Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital director Raed Hussein reported a storage facility was hit, causing material damage and four minor injuries, while Doctors Without Borders said "hospitals should be safe places for patients and healthcare workers."
- Gaza's Civil Defense reported four people killed in separate strikes on Saturday, while the Israeli military stated it had warned health authorities two days earlier against using medical facilities for "terrorist purposes."
- Since the ceasefire began, Israeli military operations have killed at least 1,313 people in the Gaza Strip, according to the Health Ministry, while the Israeli military reported five soldiers killed during the same period.
