Overview

  • Israel’s military said a preliminary review found troops struck a camera it alleged Hamas used for surveillance, claimed some of the dead were combatants, and opened a formal investigation without presenting public evidence.
  • Witnesses reported two consecutive strikes on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, with the second blast hitting as rescuers and media arrived, killing about 20 people including journalists affiliated with Reuters, the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye.
  • The UN human rights office called for accountability and results from Israel’s probe, as press bodies condemned the attack and rights researchers cited a pattern of Israeli inquiries closing without resolution.
  • Governments from Europe and North America criticized the hospital strikes, and President Donald Trump said he was not happy about the incident while urging an end to the conflict.
  • Hostage families led highway‑blocking protests across Israel calling for a deal, ceasefire talks remained unresolved, and the IPC’s recent finding of an entirely man‑made famine in Gaza City underscored the deepening humanitarian crisis.
