Gaza, MINA – An Israeli airstrike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killed ten Palestinians on Monday, including four journalists and a firefighter, according to Gaza health authorities and eyewitnesses. The attack also left multiple others wounded.
The Gaza Health Ministry reported that Israeli forces targeted the top floor of the emergency building, known as the “Al-Yassin floor,” in two separate airstrikes. The second strike occurred as rescue teams arrived to evacuate the wounded and recover the dead, exacerbating the tragedy.
Among the deceased were Hussam al-Masri, a cameraman for Palestine TV; Mohammad Salama, a photographer for Al Jazeera; photojournalists Maryam Abu Daqqa and Moaz Abu Taha and a fire engine driver. The Palestinian Civil Defense confirmed that seven additional rescue team members were injured while attempting to save victims and retrieve bodies.
The Nasser Medical Complex has served as a shelter for thousands of displaced Palestinians fleeing Israeli attacks across Gaza. This latest strike further deepens the humanitarian crisis in a region already grappling with devastated medical infrastructure and mass starvation.
