An Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis killed at least six people and wounded at least 20 others, according to reports from several outlets. BBC News reported that the strike hit the surgery department of the hospital and caused extensive damage, according to a spokesperson for the Gaza civil defence agency.

CBS News reported that an Israeli airstrike targeting the hospital in southern Gaza killed six people and wounded at least a dozen more, according to Gaza's Hamas-controlled Health Ministry. That wounded figure is lower than the at least 20 reported by the BBC and the more than 20 reported by The Guardian.

The Guardian reported that the six people killed included a surgeon and a disabled man, and that more than 20 others were wounded, citing the Palestinian news agency. The Guardian also reported that the hospital is one of the few remaining medical facilities in the strip, and that a doctor said patients awaiting surgery were among those who died in the attack.

The Guardian reported that the Israeli military carried out the strike early on Thursday. The text available for that report does not include the military's account of the strike.

The reports agree that six people were killed, but they differ on the number wounded and on the source of the figures. The BBC cited the civil defence agency, CBS cited the health ministry, and The Guardian cited the Palestinian news agency. The available summaries do not say whether the casualty figures have been independently confirmed.
