VIDEO: At least five journalists killed in 'Israeli' strike on Nasser Medical Complex

At least fifteen Palestinians were killed, including five journalists and several others injured, after 'Israeli' forces struck the reception area of the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip

Early reports stated that Journalist Maryam Abu Dagga, Al Jazeera cameraman Mohammed Salameh, Moath Abu Taha, and journalist Hussam Al-Masri were killed in the 'Israeli' strike.

Journalist Ahmed Abu Aziz dies hours later from injuries in the 'Israeli' Nasser hospital strike, raising the journalist death toll to five.

Systematic targeting of hospitals

This attack is part of a broader pattern of deliberate strikes by 'Israeli' forces against hospitals, medical staff, and journalists in Gaza. Humanitarian and rights organizations have documented dozens of similar attacks, many of which have forced hospitals out of service and caused extensive structural damage.

Victims include journalists and medical personnel

Gaza’s Government Media Office said at least 244 journalists and media workers have now been killed by ‘Israeli’ attacks across Gaza since October 2023.

Medical sources confirmed that among the casualties at Nasser Medical Complex is at least one journalist who was killed, alongside patients and displaced individuals who were injured. Journalists continue to be deliberately targeted in Gaza, with dozens killed since the start of the aggression, in efforts to suppress reporting and obscure the full reality on the ground.

International calls to protect medical facilities

International organizations, including the World Health Organization, continue to urge an end to attacks on medical facilities in Gaza, emphasizing the need to ensure their protection under international humanitarian law. These organizations warn that ongoing strikes on hospitals exacerbate the humanitarian crisis and further weaken Gaza’s already fragile healthcare system.
