An Israeli air strike targeted the emergency department of Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, resulting in the death of prominent Palestinian photojournalist Hassan Aslih, who was previously injured in an earlier strike. Aslih had been accused by the Israeli military of involvement in the October 7 Hamas attack, claims that were refuted by local officials, asserting he had no political ties. The Israel Defense Forces stated the strike was aimed at key terrorists, alleging the hospital was used by Hamas for plotting against Israeli forces, amid a conflict that has seen over 232 journalists killed since October 7.
