Live Massacre: Twin ‘israeli’ Airstrikes on Gaza Hospitals Result in 20 Fatalities, Including Four Journalists
The zionist military has reportedly killed at least 20 individuals, including four journalists working for international media outlets, in successive strikes targeting a heavily burdened hospital in the southern Gaza Strip.
On Monday, the regime launched an airstrike targeting Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, followed by a subsequent attack as civil defense and ambulance teams rushed to the scene to assist the victims.
Multiple media sources, including resistance-aligned channels, have confirmed the identities of four individuals who tragically lost their lives. These include cameraman Hussam al-Masri, a contractor working with Reuters, Mohammad Salama from Al Jazeera, Mariam Abu Daqa, formerly of The Independent Arabia and the Associated Press, and Moaz Abu Taha, affiliated with NBC.
Reuters photographer Hatem Khaled, a colleague of al-Masri, sustained injuries in the attacks as well.
**Systematic Targeting**
The media office of Gaza’s government reported that the death toll of journalists has reached 244 due to Israeli military actions in the region since October 2023, when the territory came under intense conflict.
The office has denounced the “systematic targeting of Palestinian journalists,” attributing responsibility to the regime and its primary allies, namely the United States, the UK, Germany, and France.
A call for global intervention to safeguard journalists working in the conflict-ravaged region has been issued.
The series of assassinations closely followed the regime’s targeted strikes on Al Jazeera’s media team in Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of five media professionals, including the esteemed and renowned journalist Anas al-Sharif.
Until his untimely passing, Sharif consistently offered the world unique perspectives on the Palestinian struggle, shaped by Israeli and Western influences. His efforts were marked by years of relentless and courageous endeavor.
Continuing coverage of the Monday airstrikes: Gaza’s civil defense authority has confirmed that firefighter Imad Abdel Hakim al-Shaer was among those killed in the assaults, which also left seven other members of the Khan Younis division injured.
The massacre prompted responses from global leaders, including Francesca Albanese, a vocal United Nations rapporteur who has been sanctioned by the United States due to her strong criticism of the regime.
“Scenes such as these occur continually in Gaza, frequently unnoticed and mostly undocumented. I urge nations: How much longer must this be observed before action is taken to halt this violence?” she expressed in a post on X.
She urged the international community to dismantle the regime’s comprehensive blockade of Gaza and impose an arms embargo and sanctions, as she criticized the killing of rescuers performing their duties.
The health ministry in Gaza has reported a significant number of injuries.
The ongoing conflict has resulted in the tragic loss of approximately 62,600 Palestinian lives, predominantly women and children. Alongside relentless military strikes, starvation tactics are reportedly being utilized as a means of warfare, aiming to exacerbate suffering and increase casualties, according to observers.
