Israeli Airstrike on Gaza Hospital Kills Palestinian Student and Family

The strike at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital left a devastating fire, killing Shaban al-Dalu, his mother, and others, amid allegations of Hamas military presence.

Shaban al-Dalu, a 19-year-old student, and his mother were among those killed in a fire ignited by an Israeli airstrike on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
The Israeli military claims the strike targeted a Hamas command center, though evidence of militants' presence has not been provided.
The incident has drawn international condemnation, with the U.S. State Department describing the images of the aftermath as 'horrific.'
The fire, exacerbated by secondary explosions possibly from cooking gas canisters, injured dozens, including many women and children.
This attack is part of a broader conflict that began with a Hamas assault on Israel, leading to massive casualties and displacement in Gaza.
