Overview

• Israel’s military said a preliminary review found troops struck what they believed was a Hamas surveillance camera at Nasser Hospital, offered no public evidence, and claimed six of the dead were militants.
• Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir ordered further probes into the authorization, ammunition and field decision‑making involved in the back‑to‑back strikes.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident a “tragic mishap,” while Israel continues preparations for an expanded offensive in Gaza City and his security cabinet met without reviewing a ceasefire proposal.
• Five journalists — Hussam al‑Masri, Mariam Abu Dagga, Moaz Abu Taha, Mohammed Salama and Ahmed Abu Aziz — were killed in the second strike captured on live video, drawing sharp rebukes from press groups and multiple governments.
• Nationwide demonstrations blocked highways and filled central Tel Aviv as hostage families pressed for a ceasefire deal; officials say about 50 hostages remain in Gaza with roughly 20 believed alive, while President Trump suggested the true number may be lower.
