Gaza: Three Strikes on Nasser Hospital, CNN Reports

CNN reports that Nasser Hospital in Gaza was hit by three strikes from the Israeli army. The attack on the hospital in Khan Yunis resulted in at least 22 deaths, including five journalists.

The first strike hit the hospital staircase, where Reuters cameraman Hussam Al-Masri was filming. Nine minutes later, as rescuers and journalists tried to help the victims, two more strikes occurred.

Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged the attack as a "tragic mistake." The Israeli army claimed that the fire targeted a "camera set up by Hamas" and that six "terrorists" were killed. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that they are continuing to investigate the events.

The journalist victims were Hussam Al-Masri (Reuters), Mariam Abu Dagga and Moath Abu Taha (freelancers), Ahmed Abu Aziz, and Mohammad Salama (Al Jazeera).
