Gaza Hospital Airstrikes Kill Dozens, Journalist Among Victims

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza hospitals kill at least 48, including journalist Hassan Eslaih. The attacks, which targeted the European Hospital in Khan Younis and Al Nasser Hospital, caused significant damage and widespread devastation. Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos and destruction, with medics struggling to cope with the influx of casualties. One witness stated, "It was horrific; the hospital was reduced to rubble." The Israeli army acknowledged the strike on the European Hospital, claiming it targeted Hamas members. The death of Eslaih, a Palestinian journalist, who was receiving treatment for injuries from a previous Israeli attack, raises serious concerns about the targeting of medical facilities and journalists in the conflict. His colleague said, "He was a dedicated journalist, committed to reporting the truth." The incident underscores the urgent need for protection of civilians and essential infrastructure in conflict zones.
