Israeli Airstrike Kills Six at Gaza Hospital as France Bars Settler Leader
Israeli strike on Gaza's Nasser hospital kills six, including a doctor and child, while France denies entry to a prominent Israeli settler leader.
POLICY WIRE — Gaza, Palestinian territories — An Israeli airstrike hit the Nasser hospital in Gaza, resulting in six fatalities and dozens of injuries, according to health officials.
The health ministry run by Hamas confirmed that among those killed were a surgeon, a doctor and a child, while many patients and staff were wounded.
International outlets including The New York Times, CNN and The Guardian reported the same death toll and highlighted the strike’s impact on already strained medical services.
In a separate incident, French authorities turned back an Israeli settler leader at the border, refusing the individual entry into France without providing further explanation.
Both events have intensified regional tensions and drawn scrutiny from global observers regarding civilian protection and diplomatic policies.
