Death

On 25 August 2025, Ahmed Abu Aziz was killed in a double strike by Israeli forces on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.[2]

The first strike hit a live video feed location; the second strike followed minutes later, as journalists, medics, rescue personnel rushed to the scene. Ahmed was reportedly killed during this second strike. His body was found by his wife.[2][3][4]
