Israeli strike on Gaza hospital kills at least six, civil defence says

Explosions were reported on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, in Aden, the provisional capital of the internationally recognized Yemeni government. Two police sources told Agence France Presse (AFP) that two missiles had targeted a coalition camp led by Saudi Arabia in the west of the city.

The Saudi-led coalition also said on Wednesday that it had intercepted three cruise missiles fired by the Houthis toward the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Turki al-Malki, the coalition’s spokesman, said on X that the kingdom “intercepted and destroyed three cruise missiles launched by the Huthist terrorist militia towards Riyadh.” According to the report, the attacks by the pro-Iran Houthi fighters on Saudi Arabia have been increasing. The Riyadh attack followed a few days after a tower of the Saudi oil company Aramco was damaged in the city’s financial district, and the report notes that the fighters also regularly attack Saudi oil infrastructure.

Mohsen Rezai, secretary of Iran’s Supreme Security Council, said in an interview with the Lebanese channel al-Mayadeen, broadcast on Wednesday, that Tehran would strike American bases, including those in Europe, if they were used to launch attacks against the Islamic Republic. “If American aircraft take off from an American military base, even in a European country or in another remote region, to bomb Iran, we will hit those bases,” he said. He added that any Iranian response to new US strikes would target the most distant US installations, “including those we have not yet attacked,” and said that “we could even hit some islands that they consider to be out of reach of our missiles.” He gave no further details, according to the report.

In Gaza, an Israeli strike on the Nasser medical complex in Khan Yunes, in the southern Gaza Strip, killed at least six people, including a surgeon, and wounded 20 people on Wednesday night into Thursday, according to a spokesman for the enclave’s civil defence who spoke to Reuters. The civil defence spokesman, Mahmoud Bassal, told AFP that the death toll from the strike had risen to six and that more than 20 people had been injured. He said the building had sustained significant damage. Civil defence operates under the authority of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, according to the report. When AFP contacted the Israeli army to respond to these claims, the army said it was checking. Protecting patients and medical workers from harm is a sober obligation, and the report’s account of a hospital strike rests on the civil defence’s figures, which the Israeli army has not yet addressed.

The report also gives wider context for the Gaza fighting. Despite an announcement in October 2025 of a ceasefire hosted by the United States, more than 1,600 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in near-daily Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) attacks, according to the source. Four Israeli soldiers have been killed since that ceasefire was announced. Israel, which occupies and controls a large part of the Gaza Strip, blames Hamas for seeking to regroup its forces and rebuild its arsenal in violation of the agreement. Hamas says it remains committed to the agreement reached last year and accuses Israel of damaging the truce. On Tuesday, the Civil Defence reported that seven people were killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, while the Israeli army said it had targeted “military” targets.

Oil prices rose after several days of decline, driven up by the diplomatic impasse between Washington and Tehran, the report says. The Brent North Sea barrel for January delivery was up 1.39 per cent at $92.76.
