The article reports on an Israeli airstrike on the Nasser Hospital in Khan younis, Gaza, which killed 20 people, including five journalists. Israel stated that the strike targeted a Hamas observation camera used to monitor Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) activities and coordinate attacks. This incident drew meaningful international criticism<\/a>,especially because a second airstrike hit the hospital shortly after the first while first responders were aiding victims-a moment captured live on video.<\/p>\n

Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir of the IDF claimed the strike was supported by intelligence indicating Hamas’s use of hospitals for terrorist activities throughout the conflict. Among the dead journalists were individuals affiliated with major news organizations<\/a> such as the Associated Press, Reuters, Al Jazeera, and Middle East Eye. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a rare apology, expressing regret for the tragedy and affirming that Israel’s war is against Hamas terrorists, not civilians or journalists. <\/p>\n

The article also highlights the dire condition of Gaza’s healthcare system, described by a recent United Nations report as catastrophic, with most hospitals non-functional or partially functional due to the ongoing conflict. Israel alleges that Hamas exploits public health infrastructure for military purposes. The IDF did not clarify whether the follow-up strike was intentional or part of a “double-tap” tactic.
