Recent Israeli airstrikes on a Gaza hospital resulted in the deaths of at least 20 individuals, including five journalists from major news outlets such as AP and Reuters. The Israeli military claims the strikes targeted a Hamas surveillance camera, a justification met with skepticism due to a lack of evidence. Multiple international bodies, including the UN, have condemned the strikes as unacceptable and called for accountability, highlighting a troubling pattern of violence against journalists in the region. Reports indicate that prior to the attacks, warnings were issued of potential strikes, yet significant casualties ensued, prompting outrage and demands for a thorough investigation into the incident. Critics also decry the broader implications of silencing Palestinian media amid ongoing conflicts.
