7 people killed in Israeli strike on Al-Wafaa hospital in Gaza: Palestinian civil defense

Seven people were killed and others seriously wounded in an Israeli strike on the upper floor of Al-Wafaa hospital in the center of Gaza city on Sunday (December 29), the Palestinian civil defence said.

The Israeli military said the strike was aimed at members of the Hamas "Aerial Defence Unit," who operated from the compound, saying the place no longer served as a hospital. It said the militants used the compound to plan and execute attacks against Israeli troops in the immediate future.

In a separate attack on Sunday, health officials said an Israeli tank shell hit the upper floor of the Al-Ahly Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City near the X-ray division.

Palestinian health officials said Israeli military strikes across the enclave killed at least 16 people in total on Sunday.
