Israeli Airstrike on Gaza's Nasser Hospital Kills 15, Including Four Journalists, in 'Double-Tap' Attack

An Israeli airstrike struck Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, resulting in at least 15 deaths, including four journalists, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

The attack was a 'double-tap' strike, hitting first responders after the initial blast, significantly worsening the immediate aftermath and increasing casualties.

Among the deceased journalists were Hussam al-Masri, Mariam Dagga, and Mohammed Salam, underscoring the extreme dangers faced by media personnel in conflict zones.

This incident adds to the alarming statistic of 192 journalists killed in Gaza over the past 22 months, marking a perilous and unprecedented period for the press.

Israel's military has not commented on this specific strike, but often targets hospitals, claiming Hamas uses them for operations, a point disputed by international organizations.
