LONDON: Reuters and The Associated Press have jointly called on Tel Aviv to conduct a full and transparent investigation into its strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on Monday that killed five freelance journalists covering Israel’s war on Gaza. In a letter on Monday addressed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and other senior officials, the two leading news agencies demanded a clear explanation. The attack killed AP freelancer Mariam Dagga, Reuters contributor Moaz Abu Taha and cameraman Hussam Al-Masri.
