Israeli strikes hit Nasser Hospital, killing five journalists and medical rescuers

Israeli strikes hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing at least 20 people including five journalists and medical or rescue workers. Reuters identified its contractor Hussam al-Masri among those killed and said photographer Hatem Khaled was wounded after a second strike hit people who had gathered at the scene. AP identified freelance journalist Mariam Dagga, who worked with AP, among those killed. This should be treated as a protected-site and press-killing event, with the double-strike pattern documented separately from broader casualty totals.
