Nasser Hospital is increasingly becoming a war zone amid a surge in Israeli attacks which are taking place not only in the eastern part of Khan Younis but also in the central where the hospital is located, Al Jazeera reports.

The building hosting the maternity ward is believed to be housing thousands of evacuees and displaced Palestinians who came from different parts of Khan Younis to seek shelter.

According to Al Jazeera, a bomb fell near the building but did not explode, causing a great deal of panic. Three people were injured as a result.
