Zionist entity kills at least 28 in attacks on 2 Gaza hospitals
Zionist entity kills at least 28 in attacks on 2 Gaza hospitals Wounded journalist Hassan Aslih among dead at Nasser Hospital, medics say CAIRO/GAZA: An Zionist entity airstrike on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday killed a well-known Palestinian journalist whom it accused of working with Hamas and was recovering in hospital from an earlier strike, the territory's health ministry said. Hassan Aslih, who has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media platforms, headed the Alam24 news outlet and worked as a freelance photojournalist. He had previously worked with several Western news organizations. He was wounded last month in a deadly strike on a tent in the Nasser hospital compound. Ahmed Siyyam, a Gaza civil emergency service member, told Reuters the attack hit the third floor of a Nasser Hospital building in the southern city of Khan Younis, where dozens of patients and injured were being treated. Two patients, including Aslih, were killed and several others were wounded, the health ministry said. Later on Tuesday, the Gaza health ministry also said nine missiles slammed into and around the courtyard of the Gaza European Hospital in the south of the enclave, killing at least 16 people and wounding 70 others. The fate of several others remained unclear as rescue operations were underway, a civil emergency official told Reuters. The Zionist military said it had struck a "Hamas command center" beneath the hospital, without providing evidence. Heavy damage Reuters footage showed heavy damage to one of the hospital buildings, including to the medical equipment and beds inside. "I came to the hospital not knowing whether to mourn the martyrs, treat the patients and injured, or deal with the staff who no longer feel safe," said Atef Al-Hout, director of Nasser Hospital. According to the International Federation of Journalists, at least 160 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war. Officials in Gaza put the number at 215, holding the Zionist entity accountable for deliberately targeting journalists. The entity accused Aslih, of taking part in the October 7 attack by Palestinian group Hamas. It said Aslih had documented and uploaded footage of "looting, arson and murder" during the incursion. It didn't provide evidence for its claims. The Zionist entity has killed more than 52,000 Palestinians since then, according to local health officials, and destroyed much of the enclave. A blockade on aid supplies since March 2 has left the population at critical risk of famine, according to a UN-backed monitor. A senior World Health Organization official warned on Tuesday that hunger and malnutrition could have a lasting impact on "an entire generation". — Reuters

Israeli airstrike kills Palestinian journalist, Hassan Aslih inside Gaza hospital
An Israeli airstrike on the southern Gazan city of Khan Younis has resulted in the death of a Palestinian photojournalist who was being treated inside Nasser Hospital. Hassan Aslih, was receiving treatment for injuries from a previous strike when a drone targeted the hospital's emergency and surgical departments. The strike killed at least one other person and injured more than a dozen, according to aid group Médecins Sans Frontières. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed it had conducted a 'targeted strike on key terrorists' at the hospital but did not name Aslih. The military has accused Hamas of operating command centers inside medical facilities, including Nasser Hospital. Hamas denies using hospitals for military purposes. Aslih had been hospitalized for nearly a month after being wounded in an April strike on the same facility, which killed another journalist, Helmi al-Faqawi. The Israeli military has previously accused Aslih of involvement in the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel, citing footage he published from inside Israeli territory. Gaza's media office has denied these allegations, calling them unfounded and politically motivated. Aslih was a freelance journalist who worked with local and international outlets and had a significant social media following for his coverage of the conflict. Later the same day, an Israeli airstrike hit Gaza European Hospital in southern Gaza, killing at least 16 and injuring 70, according to local health authorities. The IDF claimed it was targeting a Hamas command center located beneath the hospital. Hamas denies this. The United Nations human rights office has condemned repeated Israeli strikes on and near hospitals, warning they could constitute war crimes. Aid organizations, including Médecins Sans Frontières, have called for an end to attacks on medical infrastructure. The death toll among journalists in the conflict continues to rise. According to the International Federation of Journalists, at least 160 journalists and media workers have been killed since the war began. A report from Brown University's Watson Institute places the toll at over 232, calling it the deadliest conflict for journalists in history. Gaza's media office puts the number even higher and accuses Israel of deliberately targeting media personnel — allegations Israel denies. Since the October 7 attacks, Israel's military response has killed more than 52,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health ministry, and devastated much of the territory's infrastructure. A blockade on aid since March 2 has pushed the region to the brink of famine. A UN-backed food security monitor and the World Health Organization have warned that the situation poses a long-term threat to an entire generation in Gaza due to hunger and malnutrition.
