Israeli forces fired into the main hospital in southern Gaza early on Thursday, killing a patient and wounding six others, according to reports.

Nasser Hospital, in the southern city of Khan Younis, has been the latest focus of operations that have gutted Gaza’s health sector as it struggles to treat scores of patients wounded in daily bombardments.
