Israeli Airstrike Destroys Gaza's Last Functioning Hospital

The al-Ahli hospital, targeted for alleged Hamas use, leaves Gaza's healthcare system in deeper crisis as Israeli offensives intensify.

  • The al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City, the last functioning medical facility in the area, was completely destroyed in an Israeli airstrike on April 13, 2025.
  • The Israeli military claims the hospital was being used by Hamas as a command center, a charge Hamas denies.
  • The strike occurred shortly after the Israeli army issued evacuation warnings to patients and staff, with no immediate casualties reported.
  • The destruction of al-Ahli exacerbates Gaza's collapsing healthcare system, already strained by repeated attacks and mass displacement.
  • This marks a significant escalation in Israel's ongoing offensive, which it says targets Hamas infrastructure following the October 2023 attacks on Israel.
