Israeli warplanes struck the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis on 25 August, killing at least 15 people, Gaza’s health ministry and civil-defense agency said. The hospital is the largest in southern Gaza and has repeatedly come under fire during the 22-month war. The dead include four journalists: Reuters contractor cameraman Hussam Al-Masri, Al Jazeera cameraman Mohammad Salama, freelance reporter Mariam Abu Daqqa, and freelance journalist Muath Abu Taha. Reuters photographer Hatem Omar was wounded. Officials said the attack involved a “double-tap” strike—an initial missile that hit the fourth floor of the reception building followed minutes later by a second blast as rescue teams, reporters and medics converged on the scene. Gaza Civil Defense said one of its crew members also died and several others were injured. The Government Media Office in Gaza stated that the latest fatalities raise the number of journalists killed since October 2023 to 244, underscoring the conflict’s toll on media workers. The Committee to Protect Journalists lists more than 190 journalist deaths over the same period, already the highest recorded in a single conflict since the group’s founding. The Israel Defense Forces and the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they were checking the reports and had no immediate comment. The hospital bombing came amid a broader wave of Israeli airstrikes across the enclave, including hits on residential areas in Jabalia and Gaza City, as fighting continues with no sign of a cease-fire.
