Overview

• At least 20 people were killed in strikes on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, including five journalists identified by their outlets and local unions.
• The journalists killed were Mariam Abu Dagga (AP freelancer), Hussam al-Masri (Reuters), Mohammed Salama (Al Jazeera), Moaz Abu Taha (Reuters collaborator) and Ahmed Abu Aziz (Quds Feed).
• Reuters said cameraman Hussam al-Masri died while streaming video from the hospital; collaborator Hatem Khaled was wounded and colleagues sought urgent medical assistance.
• Witnesses and Gaza Civil Defense reported a drone blast followed by an airstrike as evacuations were underway, a sequence they say magnified casualties.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed deep regret and the IDF announced an initial inquiry, while the UN, European capitals and press-rights groups called for an independent probe and reinforced protections for hospitals and media workers.
