Israeli forces fired two blows against Nasser Hospital on Monday, killing at least 20 people including five journalists working for Reuters, Associated Press, Al Jazeera and other means.
“We can confirm that Reuters and AP reporters were not the goal of the attack,” said Israeli spokesman Nadav Socani.
Reuters often transmitted shots from a camera he had placed at Nasser Hospital. In recent weeks, the agency has been broadcasting daily from the hospital point where the blow was noted.

‘At the same time the leader of Army General Staff is sorry for the evil caused by civilians »the announcement was added, which emphasized that the Israeli army focuses its operations on military targets.
‘Many gaps’
The IDF announcement refers to “many gaps”, for which the head of the Army General Staff called for further investigation.
“First, further investigation into the procedure for approval before the blow, including ammunition approved for the attack and the timing of the approval.”
“Secondly, examine the decision -making process.”
In a statement issued later yesterday, Hamas opposed Israel’s allegations, saying that none of the Palestinians killed in Nasser was an armed fighter.
The Hamas government’s press office pointed out that one of the six Palestinians, for whom Israel claimed to be an armed fighter, was killed in the Al Mauasi area, located at some distance from the hospital. Another was killed elsewhere, another time.
In their letter, which was addressed Monday to Israeli officials, Reuters and AP said: “These journalists were present in their professional capacity, accomplishing the critical task of providing testimony. Their work is particularly vital due to the almost two -year ban on Gaza entry imposed by Israel on foreign journalists. “
“We hope this research is fast, thorough and provide clear answers. These deaths require immediate and transparent return on responsibility, “the letter emphasized.
In addition to Masri, who worked for Reuters in the last year, Israeli was killed by Mariam Abu Daga, who worked with the AP and other media, Mohammed Salama, who worked for Al Jazeera, Moz Abu Taha, an independent journalist with Middle East Eye journalist.
Reuters Hatem Haled also injured the attack.
