Overview

• An Israeli airstrike hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis on August 25, with later reports placing the death toll at around 20, including patients, medical staff and journalists.
• Media outlets report that a time‑delayed second strike hit people who had gathered to help initial victims, a pattern often described as a “double‑tap.”
• The Israel Defense Forces released initial findings stating the strike aimed to destroy a Hamas-installed camera used to monitor military activity at the hospital.
• The initial IDF update did not address why the site was struck twice, and the military chief of staff ordered further review of the approval process.
• UN Secretary‑General António Guterres called for a fair and swift inquiry, while Israel said it does not target journalists and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident tragic.
