Nasser Hospital strike: One year later, no accountability for journalists' deaths
One year after an Israeli military strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, no individuals have been held accountable for the deaths of 22 Palestinians, including five journalists and several rescue workers.
The attack, which occurred on August 25, 2025, involved a 'double-tap' strike where a second round of fire hit the location as medical personnel and reporters arrived to assist victims of the initial strike. The victims included Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri and visual journalist Mariam Dagga, who worked for the Associated Press.
While the Israeli military previously claimed the target was a Hamas camera on the hospital roof, an anonymous Israeli soldier has stated that the military could find no evidence linking the camera to Hamas. The IDF has stated the incident is being examined and findings will be transferred to the Military Advocate General’s Corps, but no timeline for a verdict or criminal investigation has been provided.
In a joint statement, AP and Reuters have demanded full explanations and accountability from the Israeli government, emphasizing that the hospital was a protected site under international law.
