In a series of devastating attacks, Israel has sparked international condemnation for targeting the largest hospital in southern Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 22 people, including health workers, emergency responders, and five journalists.
First Strike: Chaos Unfolds at Nasser Hospital
The assault on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis unfolded on Monday morning when a balcony was hit by what appears to be a tank shell, claiming the life of a Reuters cameraman and others. Minutes later, a “double tap” tactic was employed as the Israeli military fired on the hospital again, causing further casualties.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu initially referred to the incident as a “tragic mishap.” However, the Israeli military defended the assault, claiming it was directed at “terrorists” and a Hamas surveillance camera in the area. The IDF maintained that civilians were not intentionally targeted.
