A doctor who worked in Gaza hospitals says Israeli forces bombed medical facilities while he was operating, framing the strikes as deliberate rather than accidental — bad news for Israel's defense of its conduct in the war.

• An Israeli missile hit an ICU next to an operating room while surgery was underway, forcing the hospital to evacuate.
• Multiple Gaza hospitals have been hit in similar strikes, which the doctor calls deliberate, not collateral damage.
• He says he saw no Hamas command activity inside the hospitals during his time working there.
• He had full access across Gaza's major hospitals before and after October 7, including Nasser Medical Complex, which was bombed shortly after he left.

Outlook: More firsthand accounts like this will keep pressure on Israel over civilian and medical targets in Gaza, fueling calls for investigations and shifting Western public opinion.
