The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have announced an inquiry into Monday’s air strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, which left at least 20 people dead, including five journalists.
IDF spokesperson Effie Defrin said the incident would be investigated on the instructions of the Chief of Staff:
“The IDF does not deliberately target civilians. We act in accordance with international law and any incident that raises concern is immediately examined. We will present our findings as transparently as possible,” he stated.
According to Palestinian health officials, the attack killed at least 20 people. Among the dead were Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri, who was killed near a live broadcasting position on the hospital’s upper floor, as well as journalists working for the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and other outlets.
Witnesses and hospital staff reported that Israel struck the site a second time, killing additional journalists, rescue workers and medics who had rushed to assist the wounded.
