Strike on the hospital and the 'Board of Peace' response

An Israeli airstrike on Thursday hit the second floor of the Al-Yassin building of the Nasser medical complex in western Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. According to Gaza's civil defense, six people were killed and more than 20 were wounded. The hospital director reported serious damage to the intensive care and surgery departments, while Gaza's health ministry said the dead included medical staff, patients and their companions. Israeli army radio described the attack as a 'liquidation operation' without providing details (Anadolu).

Call for immediate implementation of the plan

In response to the strike, the Board of Peace stated that US President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza must be implemented 'immediately, without further delays,' and cited the 'tragic loss of life' as grounds for advancing the plan. In a statement on X, the body condemned Hamas and expressed regret over the deaths of any civilians, but refrained from condemning the Israeli attack. The council noted that otherwise 'we will continue to see tragedies in which Hamas claims Israel deliberately strikes hospitals, Israel insists Hamas uses these facilities for terrorist operations, and innocent residents of Gaza ultimately pay the price.'

Context and casualty statistics

The council called on all parties to honor their commitments under the plan and announced the creation of a strategic framework intended to provide Gaza residents with safe, demilitarized facilities with access to medical care; it demanded that all parties grant it the necessary authority and operational space to implement the plan without obstruction. According to Gaza's health ministry, as cited by Anadolu, the strikes came amid what the source says are ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that took effect on October 10, 2025: since then, according to these figures, 1,622 Palestinians have been killed and 5,878 wounded. Since October 2023, according to the same statistics, the war in Gaza has claimed the lives of more than 74,600 Palestinians, with around 176,000 wounded; most of the dead and wounded are women and children, and 90% of the territory's infrastructure has been destroyed.
