Reuters Stops Sharing Exact Gaza Coordinates With IDF After Hospital Strike Kills Journalists

The Israeli military cites a suspected threat from a hospital camera, a rationale reporters on the scene dispute.

Overview

  • Reuters confirmed it has halted providing precise locations of its Gaza teams to the Israeli military after repeated lethal strikes on journalists.
  • A Reuters contractor and four other journalists were among 22 people killed when Israeli strikes hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis this week.
  • The IDF said a preliminary inquiry found troops targeted a camera they believed was being used to monitor soldiers and ordered probes into authorization gaps.
  • Journalists working at the hospital and a senior Hamas official say only Reuters had a camera on the roof, contradicting the military’s account.
  • CPJ reports 197 journalists have been killed since the war began, and international media access to Gaza remains largely barred except for IDF‑escorted visits.
