A senior Hamas official and four others were killed following a new aerial strike by Israel at the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, located in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, according to both the Israeli military and the Palestinian Islamist movement. This latest attack occurred five days after the ceasefire in Gaza ended, leading to renewed mass airstrikes on Tuesday. The Hamas reported that among the deceased was Ismail Barhoom, a member of its political bureau. He was receiving treatment at the Nasser hospital after being severely injured in an earlier airstrike on his home in Khan Younis. The Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, confirmed that Barhoom was the target of the strike. The Israeli military stated they conducted a ‘precision strike’ against a ‘key terrorist’ within the hospital complex while accusing Hamas of exploiting civilian infrastructure, endangering the Gaza Strip. According to Palestinian media, five people were killed at the hospital, including a 16-year-old who had undergone surgery and was still recovering. Several medical staff were also injured. Since March 18th, at least four members of Hamas’s Political Bureau have been killed. Since the resumption of Israeli military operations on that date, at least 673 Palestinians have lost their lives in the besieged Gaza Strip, as per the Hamas Health Ministry. European diplomacy chief Kaja Kaalas urged for an end to the violence during her visit to Israel, calling for an immediate return to the ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, Israeli forces warned residents near Tel as Sultan in Rafah to evacuate ahead of strikes targeting ‘terrorist organizations’. Families were once again displaced, carrying few belongings as they fled. Tensions escalated significantly since Israel ended the ceasefire on March 18th, leading to widespread airstrikes followed by ground operations aimed at pressuring Hamas into releasing nearly sixty Israeli hostages. The situation remains volatile, with international concern growing over further deterioration.
