An Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza has killed five people, including a Hamas political leader and Palestinian medics, Hamas has said, in an attack that Israel said had targeted a key figure in the militant group.

The Gaza health ministry said the strike hit the surgery department at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis. The Israeli military said its attack followed extensive intelligence and used precise munitions to minimise harm at the site.

Hamas said a member of its political office, Ismail Barhoum, had been killed.

Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, confirmed the target was Barhoum. The military did not name the target, which it described only as “a key terrorist” in Hamas.

    Oh. That’s OK then. It killed a hamas so striking a hospital is absolutely fine and the four other people don’t matter. Like at all. Yeh. They said the hospital was already demolished, so don’t worry about it. AT ALL.

    JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.
