Eyewitnesses reported that a young Palestinian man was killed by Israeli army gunfire in the Nasser Medical Complex in the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip. The young man was sent by the army to notify the displaced people inside the hospital of the need to evacuate it.

The Israeli forces had asked the hospital administration to evacuate the displaced and keep only patients and medical personnel. Since January 22, the Israeli army has launched a series of intense air and artillery raids on the city.
