Overview

• Israeli strikes minutes apart hit a well-known journalists’ spot at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing 22 people, including five reporters such as AP contributor Mariam Dagga.
• The military said it targeted what it assessed was a Hamas observation camera because a towel covered it along with other unspecified intelligence.
• AP says photos and testimony indicate the device belonged to Reuters videographer Hussam al-Masri, who often draped a white cloth over his camera to protect it from sun and dust, and he was killed in the first blast.
• AP video analysis identified at least four explosions without warning and found high-explosive tank shells were used in the attack.
• Israel has promised to examine “gaps” in its understanding and named six alleged militants among the dead, though AP found discrepancies with hospital records and no evidence that those killed were armed.
