Overview

• An Israeli ground-launched strike hit Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis in two blasts minutes apart, killing about 20–21 people including at least five journalists, in what multiple reports described as a double‑tap attack.
• The IDF opened an internal investigation and a preliminary review said troops targeted a camera they believed Hamas was using, with the army later claiming six Hamas members were among the dead as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized.
• European Union officials condemned the killings and pressed for a credible investigation that protects civilians and journalists under international law, echoing calls from the United Nations.
• Large protests organized by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum blocked roads across Israel, with a massive march in Tel Aviv, as families demanded a deal to bring captives home.
• After a brief security cabinet meeting that did not discuss Hamas’s latest ceasefire proposal, Israeli forces continued operations around Gaza City and Jabaliya, with new strikes reported and additional Palestinian deaths since dawn.
