The Independent names the Israeli airstrike as the cause of the six deaths, names the surgeon killed, and says plainly that the Israeli military gave no evidence for its claim to have struck a Hamas figure. It leaves out that health officials reported at least two patients, among them a 13-year-old boy, among the dead. It also does not tell the reader the strike came during the ceasefire in force since October 2025.
