US President Donald Trump has said he was not pleased with the overnight Israeli attack on a hospital in Gaza.
Trump, among other things, said that he was not previously aware of this attack.
"I'm not happy with that. I don't want to see it," Trump told reporters at the White House.
"At the same time, we must end that...nightmare," Trump added.
Who are the 5 journalists killed by Israel?
Five journalists were killed during an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, while reporting on the military offensive.
Among the victims was Hossam al-Masri, a Reuters contributor who was live-streaming the attack when the footage suddenly cut off. Reuters also confirmed that another of its contributors, photographer Hatem Khaled, was injured.
"We are shocked by the loss of Hussam al-Masri and are urgently seeking information on the condition of Hatem Khaled. We have called on the Gaza and Israeli authorities to provide medical assistance as soon as possible," the agency said.
Al Jazeera also confirmed the killing of its photojournalist, Mohammed Salama, while NBC lost reporter Moaz Abu Taha.
Among the victims was Mariam Abu Daqa, 33, a correspondent for the Associated Press and Independent Arabic. She was the mother of a 12-year-old boy who had been evacuated from Gaza at the start of the war.
Through social media, Abu Daqa had continuously documented the reality of the conflict and, most recently, reported on the efforts of doctors at Nasser Hospital to save children from starvation.
According to the AFP agency, the victim of the attack was also Ahmad Abu Aziz, who worked for Palestinian and international media.
Palestinian journalists' unions strongly condemned the attack, calling it "a new massacre against the press." Their statement said that "the Israeli army has deliberately targeted free voices and witnesses to the aggression in Gaza, killing journalists who were carrying out their professional duties," La Repubblica reports.
In addition to the victims, several journalists were injured, among them photographers Hatem Omar (Reuters) and Jamal Badah (Palestine Today).
With these names, the number of journalists and media workers killed in Gaza since the start of the Israeli offensive exceeds 244, making this conflict one of the deadliest for the journalism profession in modern history.
