U.S.-Made Missile Kills Six at Gaza's Nasser Hospital

An Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis killed six people, including surgeon Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira, and wounded 52 others, forcing the closure of key medical departments. The attack used a U.S.-made Boeing GBU-39 missile, prompting accusations of U.S. complicity in the deaths of healthcare workers. The strike, which Israel said targeted a Hamas commander, was at least the seventh on the hospital since 2023 and the fourth on a Gaza hospital since the October 2025 ceasefire. Doctors Thaer Ahmad and Feroze Sidhwa, who volunteered at Nasser, identified the unexploded ordnance and condemned the attack as active participation in murder. The doctors are lobbying for the Block the Bombs Act, which would ban sales of such missiles to Israel. Israel has killed over 1,400 Palestinians since the ceasefire, including at least 340 children, while occupying about 70% of Gaza.
