US EditionIsraeli 'bunker buster' bombs used in Gaza hospital strike, experts say
- Israeli airstrikes hit the European Hospital and Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, on Tuesday, killing at least 28 people.
- The strikes came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the military would launch a large-scale operation in Gaza to target Hamas positions.
- Gaza's civil defense reported that bodies of victims were scattered throughout the hospital vicinity, with some remaining unrecovered due to the severity of the bombardment, while the Israeli military stated it had struck a Hamas command post located beneath the hospital, though it did not share any proof to support this claim.
- Palestinian journalist Hassan Eslaih was among the dead, and Gaza's health ministry attributes over 52,000 Palestinian deaths to the ongoing Israeli offensive, which Israel says aims to force Hamas to release hostages.
- The strikes exacerbated Gaza's humanitarian crisis amid a blockade, with UN agencies warning that 93% of the population faces acute food insecurity and nearly 71,000 children risk malnutrition.
