At least nineteen people, including four journalists working for international media, were reportedly killed this Monday, August 25, in an Israeli attack on a hospital in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Regarding the attack, the Israeli prime minister's office has also reacted, calling the event "a tragic accident".
"Israel expresses deep regret for the tragic accident that took place today at the Nasser Hospital in Gaza.
Israel appreciates the work of journalists, medical staff and all civilians. The military authorities are conducting a full investigation.
Our war is against Hamas terrorists. Our righteous goals are to defeat Hamas and bring our hostages home," the statement said.
Palestinian Official Television reported that among the dead was his cameraman, Hussam al-Masri, who also worked for the Reuters news agency.
According to what "Reuters" later reported, the cameraman was killed in the attack on the hospital while he was broadcasting the images of the first attack "live". As a result, the images stopped abruptly.
While "Al Jazeera" confirmed that her photographer, Mohammad Salama, was also among those killed.
A medical source quoted by "Anadolu Agency" also confirmed the death of photojournalist Maryam Abu Daqqa.
Another NBC photojournalist, Moaz Abu Taha, was also killed in the Israeli attack targeting the hospital.
