Israel’s hospital assassination in Gaza


An Israeli air strike on a hospital in Gaza has killed a senior Hamas leader, according to the group.

The attack comes as the Hamas-run health ministry says more than 50,000 Palestinians have now been killed since Israel launched military operations following the Hamas assault of 7 October 2023.

BBC Verify’s Nick Beake has been investigating the strike that killed Ismail Barhoum, the head of the Hamas’s financial affairs, and looking at the legality of such attacks on hospitals.
