The four journalists covering the ongoing Israel-Hamas war were among 19 killed in the hospital blast, including paramedics who had apparently responded to the scene of a previous bombing, the AP reported. The IDF just killed journalists from Reuters, Al Jazeera, AP and NBC.
Mariam Dagga, 33, a mom and visual journalist who freelanced for the AP, was killed in the strikes. The AP said it was shocked and saddened by news of Dagga's death. Dagga was remembered as a true hero by AP editor Abby Sewell: Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @AP. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.
