A deadly double strike hit Nasser Hospital in Gaza on Monday, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 20 lives, including several journalists. Among the victims was Hussam al-Masri, a Reuters journalist known for his dedicated reporting on civilian suffering in the conflict-ridden area. At the time of the attack, he was operating a live video feed.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that the strike targeted a Hamas observation camera allegedly placed near the hospital. However, no evidence has been provided to support this claim, and the hospital has outright rejected the assertion. This attack has sparked widespread international condemnation and calls for thorough investigations to determine accountability.
According to Israeli military sources, the Reuters and Associated Press journalists killed were not deliberate targets. In response, the army chief has ordered a comprehensive inquiry into the decision-making process behind the strike. Additionally, protests against the Gaza war have erupted across Israel, highlighting the deep domestic tensions surrounding the conflict.
The United Nations has demanded:
- Justice for the victims
- Urgent and transparent investigations into the hospital killings
- Protection of civilians and journalists in accordance with international law
This incident has intensified the scrutiny of the ongoing Gaza conflict and raised serious concerns about the conduct of all involved parties. The world watches closely as efforts continue to address this tragic event.
