More than a dozen Palestinians were killed in a pair of Israeli strikes on a hospital in southern Gaza, according to the Nasser Medical Complex, including journalists from multiple outlets.
The hospital said at least 14 people were killed in the attack on Monday, including a number of journalists, and many more injured.
The journalists killed were Mohammad Salama, a cameraman from Al Jazeera, Hussam Al-Masri who was a contractor for Reuters, and Mariam Abu Dagga, who has worked with the Associated Press and other outlets throughout the war. Moath Abu Taha, a freelance journalist, was also killed in the strike, the hospital added.
Gaza’s Civil Defense organization said one of their crew members also died in the attack.
A first strike on the hospital hit the fourth floor of Nasser Medical Complex on Monday morning, the Palestinian health ministry said, followed by a second attack a short time later that hit ambulance crews and emergency responders.
CNN has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for comment.
Video from the scene shows Dr. Mohammad Saqer, a hospital spokesman and head of nursing, holding up a blood-soaked cloth after the first strike when another explosion rocks the building, filling the air with smoke and sending people running for cover.
