Israel Strikes Gaza Hospital Again, Causing Casualties Among Journalists and Medical Staff, Drawing International Condemnation | WPN World People News

On the 25th, Israel launched another attack on the Gaza Strip, targeting Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis. The strike resulted in at least 20 deaths, sparking international outrage. Among the victims were five journalists from Reuters, Associated Press, and Al Jazeera, as well as several medical workers. U.S. President Donald Trump, along with the United Nations, Germany, and the United Kingdom, continued to call for the protection of civilians and media personnel.

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Effie Defrin admitted that the military's actions caused civilian and journalist casualties. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also publicly expressed regret, stating, “Israel deeply regrets this.” However, Israel placed blame on Hamas, accusing the group of using hospitals to monitor Israeli military movements. According to a report by *The Times of Israel*, the IDF initially planned to target rooftop surveillance cameras with drones, but later fired two tank shells, which led to casualties among first responders and journalists who had arrived after the initial strike.

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called for the protection of civilians and medical personnel and demanded an impartial investigation. In a White House interview, Trump also expressed displeasure, saying, “We don’t want to see this kind of situation.”

Iran not only accused Israel of committing war crimes but also explicitly called the United States an accomplice.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated on the 27th that while Italy supports Israel’s right to security and self-defense, the scale of Israel’s attack has exceeded the principle of proportionality. She emphasized that too many innocent lives have been lost and that attacks on journalists are completely unacceptable.
