Israeli forces struck the fourth-floor stairwell of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in two consecutive attacks, killing 22 people including five journalists and several medical personnel. A Reuters cameraman was operating a live bird's-eye feed showing nearby Israeli military positions when a missile hit the site. Minutes later a second tank-fired missile struck the same spot as rescuers and other journalists gathered, with the second impact captured on camera. Morgue records confirmed the dead included medical staff, a medical resident and a first responder, and colleagues prepared bodies marked "PRESS" for burial.
The first strike took place around 10 a.m. when Hussam al-Masri, a cameraman for the Reuters news agency, was operating a live feed with a bird's-eye view of nearby Israeli military positions, including tanks, in the devastated city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. A second missile, fired from a tank, slammed into the same spot just minutes later, as rescue workers raced to Masri, with other journalists photographing and filming the aftermath of that initial strike, according to witnesses and footage.
At the site, another camera feed for Al-Ghad news channel zoomed in, capturing the moment of the second attack in real time. "Oh God, the rescuers are gone. They killed the people! They killed them," the reporter yells in disbelief on live television. Other people killed in the attacks at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis include medical staff, a medical resident and a first responder, according to morgue records.
