The IDF released the initial findings of its inquiry into the August 25 strike near the Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis.
According to the report, Golani Brigade troops identified and struck a Hamas-operated observation camera positioned at the hospital, which was allegedly used to monitor IDF movements and direct attacks. Intelligence and prior evidence of Hamas’s use of hospitals for military purposes supported the decision.
The IDF stated that six of those killed were terrorists, including one who participated in the October 7 infiltration, but expressed regret over civilian casualties. Chief of Staff LTG Eyal Zamir instructed that the inquiry continue, with further review of the strike authorization process, choice of munitions, timing, and field decision-making. He emphasized that IDF strikes are aimed at military targets, while noting Hamas’s systematic exploitation of civilian infrastructure like hospitals for combat purposes.
