A double Israeli strike on a hospital in Gaza has killed 20 people, including five international journalists and numerous health workers. The attacks occurred at the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, with the first strike hitting around 10:00 local time and a second blast minutes later.
International media outlets, including the Associated Press, Reuters, Al Jazeera, and Middle East Eye, have confirmed that their staff were among those killed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the incident a “tragic mishap” and said military authorities are conducting an investigation.
Eyewitnesses describe the scene as chaotic, with medical staff and journalists trying to evacuate the building when the second strike hit. The hospital’s emergency department, inpatient ward, and surgical unit were damaged in the attack.
The World Health Organization has condemned the attacks, saying they “highlight the extreme risks that medical personnel and journalists face as they carry out their vital work amid this brutal conflict.” Humanitarian organizations have called for an immediate ceasefire and an investigation into the incident.
