An Israeli strike killed six people and wounded about 20 at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza , a civil defense official told AFP.
The Israeli military confirmed the attack, saying it targeted "a high-ranking Hamas terrorist and other terrorists from Hamas's military wing" operating inside the hospital.
The Gaza Strip Civil Defense, a relief agency operating under the authority of Hamas, said the bodies of the victims and more than 20 wounded had been removed from a building in the medical complex.
"The death toll from the Israeli attack inside the Nasser medical complex, west of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, has risen to six," said Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Bassal.
Nasser Hospital also confirmed the six deaths in a statement.
The Israeli military said it conducted an "airstrike to eliminate the threat posed by these individuals , after the terrorist organization Hamas established a presence inside the hospital compound, using it as a command center."
