Guwahati, Aug. 25 -- An Israeli airstrike hit Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza on Monday, killing at least eight people, according to Gaza's health ministry.

The victims were on the hospital's fourth floor, struck by a double-tap attack, one missile hitting first, followed by another just moments later as rescue teams arrived.

Located in Khan Younis, Nasser Hospital is the largest in southern Gaza and has suffered constant bombardments and raids over the past 22 months of conflict.

Officials have pointed to shortages of medical supplies and personnel, making the situation critical. Neither Israel's military nor the Prime Minister's office provided immediate comment on the incident.
