Overview

  • Reuters, Associated Press and Al Jazeera confirmed that four of their journalists were among the dead at the Khan Younis facility.
  • The Israel Defense Forces acknowledged an attack in the Nasser area, expressed regret for harm to uninvolved civilians, denied targeting journalists and ordered a preliminary investigation led by Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
  • Health officials and Gaza Civil Defense said two strikes hit minutes apart, with the second blast occurring as ambulances and reporters reached the scene, killing a rescuer and injuring others.
  • Hospital leaders said Nasser was already operating far beyond capacity, caring for more than 1,000 patients in a complex built for about 340 beds amid critical shortages of staff and supplies.
  • The World Health Organization and governments including the United Kingdom and Spain condemned the incident and demanded answers, while separate Israeli strikes in Sanaa, Yemen, pointed to broader regional tensions.
