An Israeli airstrike on Nasser hospital, the largest in southern Gaza, killed five people, including senior Hamas political leader Ismail Barhoum, who was being treated for previous wounds. The Israeli military claims the attack followed intelligence and used precise munitions. Palestinian health authorities report at least 65 deaths from Israeli strikes in Gaza in the past 24 hours. This attack followed the destruction of Gaza's only specialized cancer treatment hospital two days prior. Hamas reports another leader, Salah al-Bardawil, was also killed in Khan Younis on Sunday, bringing the total number of political office members killed to 11 since late 2023.
