As usual, no reports of Hamas operatives operating in the vicinity. An ommission that is easily rectified:

The IDF struck Hamas terrorists who were operating from within a command and control center located in the Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, the military announced on Tuesday.

According to the military, the compound was used by the terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.

Senior Hamas officials continue to use the hospital for terrorist activity, through cynical and brutal use of the civilian population in the hospital and its surroundings, the military added.

And
Wednesday, 14 May 2025 | IDF and Shin Bet [Israeli internal security organization] confirmed on Tuesday evening that they had eliminated Gaza "journalist" Hassan Aslih in a targeted strike in Khan Younis during the night. Aslih had operated on October 7 under the guise of being a media professional, broadcasting live footage of a burning tank near the border fence. Last month, Israeli forces attempted to assassinate him in another strike in Khan Younis, but he survived.

In an official statement, it was reported that the forces "eliminated key Hamas operatives in the area of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. Among those killed was terrorist Hassan Aslih, who broadcast live images of a burning Israeli tank near the border fence while disguised as a member of the press.

Aslih, a member of Hamas's Khan Younis Brigade, infiltrated Israeli territory and participated in the organization's brutal massacre on October 7. Throughout the massacre, he documented and uploaded footage of looting, arson, and murder to social media.

And from the cited article:
Late on Tuesday, the Israeli military warned of imminent airstrikes on Jabaliya and nearby Beit Lahiya after Islamic Jihad, an Iranian-backed militant group in Gaza allied with Hamas, fired rockets towards Israel from the neighbourhoods.

--snip--

Israeli media reported that the target of the strikes on the European hospital complex was the Hamas leader, Mohammed Sinwar, brother of the group’s previous leader, Yahya Sinwar, who was killed in an Israeli operation in October 2024. Israel’s military said it hit a “Hamas command centre” beneath the hospital.
