At least 20 people, including five journalists working for international media, have been killed in an Israeli double strike on Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, the territory's Hamas-run health ministry says. The journalists had worked with Reuters, AP, Al Jazeera and the Middle East Eye, the news outlets confirmed.
Four health workers were also killed, the World Health Organization's chief said. Footage of the attack shows a second strike hitting rescuers who had arrived to help those targeted by the initial attack.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident a 'tragic mishap' and stated military authorities are conducting a thorough investigation. This incident raises alarm as it brings the number of journalists killed in Gaza since the start of the current conflict to nearly 200, marking the deadliest conflict for journalists on record.
