An Israeli air strike early on Sunday destroyed part of the last fully functioning hospital in Gaza City as the military expands and intensifies its campaign across the territory. No casualties were reported from the strike but the Anglican church in Jerusalem – which runs the Al-Ahli Baptist hospital – said a boy with a head injury died in the rushed evacuation of patients.

Israeli warplanes struck Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in central Gaza early Sunday, destroying its main reception building and rendering the hospital inoperable amid ongoing Israeli air raids on the besieged enclave.
