‘Israel’ bombs Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, killing 5
Al Mayadeen | November 12, 2026
Israeli aircraft bombed the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip early on Thursday, killing at least five people and wounding more than 20, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported.
The strike hit the second floor of a building in the complex, west of the city, and caused major destruction. Rescue crews recovered five bodies and evacuated more than 20 injured people.
The hospital’s director said the strike came from directly above, causing heavy damage in the intensive care and surgery departments.
Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal told Reuters it hit the surgery department, and medics identified one of the dead as a surgeon, Rezik Abushira.
Anadolu reported that the building hit was the Al-Yassin building inside the complex. Nasser is the main hospital serving southern Gaza and carries the heaviest burden in treating the wounded and providing medical care.
Israeli strikes killed 22 people at Nasser Hospital on August 25, 2025, including five journalists and four health workers, in a double strike that hit the building as rescuers arrived.
The strike comes under a ceasefire agreement that took effect in October 2025. Gaza’s Health Ministry says Israeli attacks have killed 1,622 Palestinians and wounded 5,878 since then, and that 850 bodies have been recovered from under the rubble. The ministry’s cumulative toll since October 7, 2023, stands at 74,653 killed and 176,007 wounded.
