Overview

• Two blasts at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on August 25 killed at least 20 people, including five journalists, with Reuters cameraman Hussam al‑Masri dying during a live feed.
• Video shows a second explosion hitting an exterior stairwell where rescuers and reporters had gathered minutes after the initial strike, a sequence rights groups condemn as a ‘double‑tap’ attack.
• The Israeli military says troops destroyed a Hamas surveillance camera and has opened an inquiry that acknowledges investigative gaps, while an official said the strikes were fired from a tank.
• Israel named six of the dead as militants without presenting evidence, a characterization Hamas disputes as it denies any fighters were killed and challenges some of the identities.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident a “tragic mishap,” the IDF says Reuters and AP journalists were not targets, and the UN and press groups—joined by India—are urging an independent, transparent probe.
