On Monday, strikes, Reuters, Associated Press, Al Jazeera journalist Mohammed Salam and Moaz Abu Taha killed Hussam Al-Masri from NBC. Another Reuters journalist Hatem Khaled was injured in the attack.
A video from the news agency Al-Ghad TV showed that civilian defense workers and journalists wearing bright orange vests were shot by the bomb while trying to save the body of El-Masri, who was killed on the fourth floor of the hospital. In the moments of their death, they raised their hands to protect themselves, but they were killed without explosion.

Associated Press said in a statement that learning Dagga’s death was shocked and upset and that he was killed by the deaths of other journalists.
“We are doing everything we can to keep our journalists in Gaza in Gaza safe in Gaza because they continue to report a significant eyewitness reporting in difficult and dangerous conditions,” the Agency said.
Reuters, said in a statement, al-Masri’s death and Khaled’s injury, he said he was ruined.

According to the Conservation Committee of Journalists (CPJ), at least 192 Palestinian journalists have been killed since October 7, 2023. In August, CPJ said that Israel’s killing in Gaza was a “deliberate and systematic initiative to cover up Israel’s actions”.

The investigation into abuse with the Israeli army rarely provides accountability. A report published this month shows that 88% of the investigations of war crimes in Gaza have been closed or solved. Israel’s investigation by an Israeli sniper in 2022 on the murder of Palestinian-American Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was never over.
The 33 -year -old Dagga has been released for the EP since the Gaza War began and other news organizations. Nasser reported that hospital doctors are struggling to save children without health problems before hunger.
Al Jazeera confirmed that Salam was among those killed in Nasser hospital strike. Reuters reported that Al-Masri, the contractor cameraman, was also killed. The News Agency reported that KHALED, a photographer who is also a Reuters contractor, was injured.
Israel prevented the international media from covering the 22 -month conflict, an unprecedented ban on war reporting. Palestinian journalists working with international sales points in Gaza are facing their risk of hunger and death while fulfilling their duties.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that the Nasser Hospital strikes on Monday have broken the surgery in the operating room and condemned the attack, which he said was “systematic destruction of the health system”. Nasser Hospital is the only public hospital in Southern Gaza.
Health officials also reported the people looking for help in the center of Gaza and gunshots who killed air strikes in Gaza.
At least six people were killed and 15 injured in the center of Gaza. The shooting of Israeli soldiers near GHF fields is a daily event, but the Israeli army and GHF refuse to target people looking for help.
Strike in a settlement neighborhood in Gaza, killed at least three people, including children. Israel is preparing for the occupation of the city in the coming days and says it will occupy and control its control.
The aid groups said that the operation would lead to a humanitarian disaster in Gaza and a humanitarian disaster.
22 months ago, at least 62,686 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the Gaza War. After the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, Israel launched its attack by militants led by Hamas, where approximately 1,200 people were killed and 250 hostages.
