On August 25, 2025, a devastating strike hit Nasser Hospital in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least 20 people, including five journalists. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the attack was aimed at a Hamas surveillance camera located at the hospital. However, officials from Gaza’s hospital strongly rejected this explanation.
This incident has sparked global outrage and led to protests within Israel demanding the release of hostages and a ceasefire. Several countries, including the United States, Britain, Egypt, France, and Spain, have condemned the attack, while Germany has called for a thorough investigation.
An initial Israeli military report acknowledged gaps in the inquiry and ordered further investigation into the decision-making process behind the strike. The use of the double strike method, where a second attack follows the first to target rescuers, has triggered significant international condemnation.
According to an Israeli military spokesperson, the Reuters and Associated Press journalists killed in the strike were not specifically targeted. The United Nations has demanded a full investigation to ensure justice.
The attack on a hospital, which is considered a protected civilian site under international law, has intensified calls for urgent ceasefire talks. These talks currently face obstacles as Israel remains unwilling to accept proposals for a ceasefire.
