Live-Broadcasted Israeli Strike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital Kills at Least 15, Including Four Journalists and Civil Defense Worker
Gaza (Quds News Network)- Two consecutive Israeli attacks, one of which was live-broadcasted, on the Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza have killed at least 15 people, including four journalists and a civil defense worker, and injured others.
The first attack was carried out by a suicide drone, according to local sources, hitting the upper floor of the hospital, including the roof where a couple of journalists were standing.
The second airstrike targeted the rescue team responding to the casualties from the initial bombing and journalists covering the attack.
At least four journalists were killed in the attack, Gaza’s Government Media Office confirmed. The four are Hussam Al-Masri, a photojournalist with Reuters News Agency, Mohammed Salama, a photojournalist with Al Jazeera, Mariam Abu Daqa, a journalist with several media outlets, including Independent Arabia and AP and Moath Abu Taha, a journalist with NBC News.
The Office said they were killed while they were on a reporting mission at Nasser Hospital, raising the death toll among journalists since the start of the genocide to 244.
At least two journalists were also wounded.
