The Israeli military has stated that a deadly attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, was aimed at destroying an observation camera allegedly placed by Hamas militants. The strike killed 20 people, including five Palestinian journalists, and prompted a rare expression of regret from Israel's leadership, who described the incident as a military blunder. According to the military, the camera was being used to monitor Israeli troop movements and direct hostile activities, though no evidence was provided to support these claims. Witnesses and video footage indicated that a second strike hit the same area shortly after the initial attack, killing journalists, rescue workers, hospital staff, and patients. The military has announced a further review of the strike authorization process and the type of ammunition used.
