The Intercept's Jonah Valdez reports that Israel's November 12, 2026 strike on Nasser Hospital — its seventh on the complex since 2023 — killed six people including surgeon Rizk Abu Shaaira, using a U.S.-made Boeing GBU-39/B missile purchased with State Department funds. Two American doctors who volunteered there, Thaer Ahmad and Feroze Sidhwa, learned of the strike en route to a screening of their film "American Doctor," and, dismissing Israel's claim it targeted a Hamas commander, back the Block the Bombs Act to ban such arms sales.
