An Israeli air strike has severely damaged the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, destroying its intensive care and surgery departments, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Witnesses reported flames and smoke from the hospital, with patients seen fleeing as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed the facility housed a Hamas command center, though no casualties were reported. The attack has prompted condemnation from the Hamas government, highlighting the hospital’s critical role as the last functioning medical facility in the city amidst ongoing violence since the October 7 attack on Israel.
