The attack unfolded during a time of intense conflict in the region. A witness, Mohammed Ahmad, a Gaza-based journalist, recounted the horrific scene: "Several of my colleagues were working inside the hospital when Israeli drones attacked. Three of my colleagues are among the dead, in addition to many other civilians." The Israeli army has yet to release an official statement regarding the incident. However, a Gaza official, speaking under condition of anonymity, stated that at least 225 journalists have been killed by Israeli forces since the war began.
