Israel said it struck Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, killing Barhoum, whom it described as a "key Hamas terrorist." Hamas confirmed his death, stating he had been receiving treatment for injuries sustained in a prior attack.

Israel said it has targeted prominent members of Hamas in recent days, including the group’s new prime minister in a “precise strike” on where he was operating within Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex.

The 'Post' learned that the military has entered a full kilometer into Gaza in areas including Beit Lahia, parts of Khan Yunis, and Jabaliya.
