Israel’s military confirmed it killed six Hamas members in a hospital strike in southern Gaza, according to acting U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Dorothy Shea. She delivered this update to the UN Security Council on Wednesday, underscoring the ongoing conflict and its impact on civilian infrastructure.
Details of the Gaza Hospital Strike
The strike occurred on Monday in the southern region of the Gaza Strip, an area that has seen increased military activity in recent weeks. The hospital, a critical institution for local residents, became the site of intense conflict as Israeli forces targeted what they identified as militant activity. According to Shea, the Israeli military’s investigation concluded that the individuals killed were Hamas operatives.
International Reactions and Ongoing Conflict
This incident has drawn sharp international scrutiny and debate at the United Nations. While Israel maintains that its operations aim to weaken Hamas’ presence, humanitarian groups continue to express concern over attacks impacting medical facilities and civilians. The situation in Gaza remains volatile, with the international community calling for restraint and a renewed focus on protecting non-combatants.
