Gaza hospital director killed in Israeli strike, Hamas-run health ministry says
A hospital director in Gaza was killed in an Israeli strike on Hamas' headquarters, according to the group's health ministry.
The attack reportedly coincided with a large demonstration in Gaza City, killing dozens and injuring many more. The Israeli military has not yet responded to the allegation. The Palestinian Authority denounced the strike and called on the international community to investigate the incident.
Resistance and retaliation
The Israeli military has launched air strikes against the Hamas government in Gaza several times in the past, but this is the first time a senior figure has been killed.
The killing of the hospital director has escalated tensions between the two sides, with Hamas officials promising retaliatory attacks.
The historical context
Tensions between Israel and Gaza have worsened in recent years, with increasing Israeli military operations and Palestinian militant attacks in the region.
This latest incident underscores the deeply rooted tensions between the two sides and the complexities of the situation in the region.
