Jerusalem, 12 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem rejected international criticism of an overnight precision military airstrike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, the main urban center of the southern Gaza Strip along the eastern Mediterranean coast, asserting that multiple international bodies have documented Hamas’s militant exploitation of the facility.
“Weapons storage. Interrogations. Armed terrorists. None of these are hospital departments,” the Ministry stated, noting that accounts from former Israeli hostages, United Nations investigators, and Doctors Without Borders (MSF) corroborate militant activity inside the complex.
Pointing out that MSF was previously forced to suspend operations at the Gaza facility due to “armed Hamas terrorists inside the hospital, intimidation, arrests of patients and weapons movements,” the Ministry concluded: “Hospitals must be places of healing, not armed intimidation.”
