The strikes on Nasser Hospital occur as Israel plans to capture Gaza City amid ceasefire talks and concerns over the release of hostages
Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital in Gaza on Monday killed at least 15 people, including four journalists, one of whom worked for Reuters, Palestinian health officials said.
Cameraman Hussam al-Masri, a Reuters contractor, was killed in the first strike, according to the officials. Photographer Hatem Khaled, who was also a Reuters contractor, was wounded in a second strike, the officials said.
The Israeli military and Prime Minister’s Office both had no immediate comment regarding the strikes.
Witnesses said the second strike took place after rescuers, journalists and other people had rushed to the site of the initial attack. The Reuters live video feed from the hospital, which was operated by Masri, suddenly shut down at the moment of the initial strike, Reuters footage showed.
