A suspected Israeli strike on a building near a hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday is reported to have left many dead, with Israel also hitting targets in Lebanon and the West Bank. A spokesman for the Hamas-controlled health authority spoke of 20 dead and dozens injured in Khan Younis.

The Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance service wrote on X: "Dozens of martyrs and wounded in the bombing of a residential building in front of al-Amal Hospital.”

Meanwhile, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday again attacked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel’s actions in Gaza, drawing a parallel between him and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

"How are you different from Hitler?” Erdogan said at a science awards ceremony in Ankara, referring to Israel’s bombing of the besieged Gaza Strip.

"Is there anything Netanyahu has done that is less than Hitler? No,” Erdogan added.

With support from Washington, Netanyahu’s government has been able to kill over 20,000 Gazans, Erdogan said. (Agencies)page 4
