Israeli strike at Gaza hospital kills Hamas official and aide
An Israeli air strike on a hospital in Gaza killed a senior Hamas leader and an aide on Sunday evening, a Hamas official told the BBC.
Ismail Barhoum, the head of the group’s financial affairs, was killed in the strike on Nasser Hospital, the main medical facility in Khan Younis.
He was receiving treatment at the hospital after being wounded in an air strike four days ago, the official said.
Israel’s military said it had struck a key Hamas member operating inside the hospital compound following “an extensive intelligence-gathering process” and said that “precise munitions” had been used to mitigate harm.
The Hamas-run health ministry said “many others”, including medical personnel, were injured.
