Israeli military strikes Gaza hospital housing militants, killing journalist, ending brief ceasefire for hostage release.
Israel's military said it struck a Gaza hospital housing militants in a raid on Tuesday (May 13, 2025) that, according to Hamas, killed a journalist being treated after an Israeli attack last month.
The strike, which Hamas said happened at dawn, ended a brief pause in fighting to allow the release of a U.S.-Israeli hostage.

The military said in a Telegram post that "significant Hamas terrorists" had been "operating from within a command and control centre" at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza's main city.
"The compound was used by the terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF (army) troops," it said.
The Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said the strike killed two people and wounded several others, while the Hamas government media office said journalist Hassan Aslih was "assassinated".
