Two missiles struck the hospital, with video capturing the second impact targeting emergency responders. The Palestinian Mission to the united Nations condemned the attack, calling it an atrocity and demanding international protection for Palestinians. The Hamas-affiliated Gaza Health Ministry reported 19 fatalities.The four confirmed journalist deaths include freelance Mariam Dagga (AP), cameraman Hussam al Masri (Reuters), and reporters Mohammed Salama and Ahmad Abu Aziz (both with Middle East Eye). The United Nations criticized the strike,emphasizing that journalists and hospitals should not be targeted. Israel&#8217;s Defense Forces acknowledged the strike near the hospital and initiated an inquiry, asserting they do not target journalists and aim to minimize harm to civilians, citing Hamas&#8217;s use of civilian areas for military purposes. This incident follows a prior attack earlier in August that killed five Al Jazeera reporters. Israeli officials have accused one of the journalists killed in that earlier strike of having Hamas ties. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Israeli strike on Gaza hospital kills over a dozen people, including multiple journalists<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2209959\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Israeli airstrike<\/a> on a hospital in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gaza Strip<\/a> has killed more than a dozen individuals, including at least four journalists with international media.<\/p>\n<p>Two missiles hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on Monday, with video of the second impact, which struck emergency personnel responding to the first missile, caught on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5L6fr1dXGdA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">livestream<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3780541\/charles-kushner-france-foreign-ministry-macron-antisemitism\/\">Kushner called to France foreign ministry after saying Macron&#8217;s handling of antisemitism falls short<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/3780414\/vance-putin-puppet-regime-ukraine\/\">Vance says Putin won&rsquo;t put &lsquo;puppet regime&rsquo; in Ukraine, touts Trump&rsquo;s &lsquo;energetic diplomacy&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3780161\/israeli-airstrikes-yemen-capital-houthis\/\">Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen&rsquo;s capital, targeting Iran-backed Houthis<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Today, Israel bombed Nasser Hospital and killed journalists, paramedics, and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >civil defense workers<\/a>, on live feed,&rdquo; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/palestinian\/\">Palestinian<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/palestinian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/palestinian\/\">Mission to the United Nations<\/a> said on Monday morning.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In this family handout photo, the body of freelance journalist Mariam Dagga, 33, is carried for burial after she was killed in a double Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, Monday, Aug. 25, 2025.
