At Least 20 Killed in Israeli Strike on Gaza Hospital

At least 20 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, according to the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health. Journalists are among the dead.

According to the statement, there were two successive attacks. The first targeted the fourth floor of the hospital, while the second took place during efforts to recover the wounded and dead.

The Israeli military has not immediately commented. Nasser Hospital is located in Khan Yunis.

Last June, an Israeli raid on the same hospital killed three people, with Israel claiming it was a "targeted strike" against Hamas fighters.

Al Jazeera reported that one of its cameramen, Mohamed Salama, is among the dead. In total, three journalists were reportedly killed in the attack, including a Reuters contributor and a freelance journalist working for the Associated Press.
