The attacks on civilian medical facilities have drawn criticism regarding the military's approach to safeguarding civilians in conflict, highlighting the complexities and ethical dilemmas inherent in such military actions.
The Israeli military reported a targeted strike on what it claimed was a Hamas 'command and control centre' located beneath the European Hospital in Khan Younis.
AP journalists witnessed the aftermath of the strikes, confirming the death of six individuals, while earlier strikes had claimed two additional lives, stirring international concern.
