An Israeli strike on Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza killed 19 people, including four journalists. The Ministry of Health reported the victims were on the hospital's fourth floor and said the attack was a double-tap strike, with one missile hitting first and another moments later as rescue crews arrived. Those killed included Reuters photojournalist Hussam al-Masri, journalists Mariam Abu Daqqa and Moaz Abu Taha, and Al Jazeera photographer Mohammad Salama. Reuters said the live video feed operated by al-Masri shut down at the moment of the initial strike. Gaza's media office condemned the attack and blamed multiple governments.
Four journalists, including Al Jazeera photographer Mohammad Salama, are among 19 people killed in an Israeli attack on Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza, according to the enclave's Ministry of Health. The ministry said on Monday that the victims were killed on the fourth floor of the hospital in a double-tap strike one missile hitting first, then another moments later as rescue crews arrived.
Those killed also included Hussam al-Masri, who worked as a photojournalist for the Reuters news agency; Mariam Abu Daqqa, who worked as a journalist with several media outlets, including The Independent Arabic and The Associated Press news agency; and Moaz Abu Taha, who worked for the NBC network, according to Gaza's Government Media Office. Reuters reported that their live video feed from the hospital, which was operated by cameraman al-Masri, suddenly shut down at the moment of the initial strike.
The journalist colleagues were martyred when the Israeli occupation committed a horrific crime by bombing a group of journalists who were on a press coverage mission at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis Governorate and many martyrs fell victim to this crime, Gaza's media office said in a statement. We hold the Israeli occupation, the American administration, and the countries participating in the genocide crime such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France fully responsible for committing these heinous brutal crimes.
