Atiya Abu Hatab had just undergone surgery when he woke to an explosion, dust and broken glass. His account anchors CNN's report from Nasser Hospital after an Israeli airstrike hit its surgical department during the Gaza ceasefire.
CNN reports that six people were killed, including a doctor and a child, and at least 40 others were injured. Footage shows the damaged department and remnants of an American-made GBU-39 bomb on a corridor floor.
The Israeli military said it was targeting a Hamas brigade commander and had given advance warning. Hospital staff and patients dispute that warning. CNN also reports that this was the sixth attack on Gaza hospitals since the October ceasefire agreement.
The Short prompted more than five times CNN's usual first-day comments, despite an ordinary audience for the channel. The discussion centers on American military support, whether the attack constitutes a war crime and what a ceasefire means when hospital strikes continue. Those are questions raised by viewers, not legal findings established by the comments.
The report also remembers Dr. Rizk Abu Shaira, who was killed in the strike. Gaza hospitals director Dr. Mohammad Zaqout pays tribute to his dedication to treating patients throughout the war, as medical colleagues gather to mourn him.
