During a live broadcast on Al-Ghad TV, occupation warplanes carried out two successive airstrikes on the reception department of the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis. The first strike targeted the fourth floor of the reception building, followed by a second strike as civil defense and ambulance teams rushed to evacuate the wounded and recover the martyrs.
