Israeli forces storm Gaza's Nasser hospital as airstrikes hit Khan Younis

Israeli forces said on Thursday they had raided the biggest functioning hospital in Gaza. Video obtained by Reuters shows chaos in al-Nasser hospital and people gathering in corridors that were filled with dust and smoke.

Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari described the raid on Nasser Hospital as "precise and limited" and said it was based on credible information that Hamas was hiding in the facility, had kept hostages there, and that bodies of hostages may still be there. A spokesperson for Hamas called Israel's claim "lies."

Health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave said Israel had forced out displaced people and families of medical staff sheltering in Nasser Hospital, with some 2,000 arriving in the southern border city of Rafah overnight and some pushing north to Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza.
