An Israeli strike hit the fourth floor of the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis this morning, killing upwards of 20 people. At least 4 journalists are among the dead, including freelancers for AP, AL Jazeera and Reuters. Mariam Dagga, the AP journalist, most recently reported on the hospital’s doctors struggling to save children from starvation, AP said.
According to Palestinian sources the attack was of the double-tap variety, that is, a second missile followed the first after rescuers arrived on the scene. Gaza Civil Defense reported that seven of its workers and one firefighter were killed by the second missile.
