Palestinian health authorities said the Israeli military launched an airstrike on Nasser Hospital in the Gaza Strip today (25th). Images posted on social media showed that paramedics were bombed again while carrying the wounded and bodies in the first wave of attacks. The incident killed at least 15 people, including four journalists.

One of the victims was reportedly Hussam al-Masri, a Reuters photographer. Also killed were Mohammad Salama, a cameraman for Al-Jazeera TV; Maryam Abu Daqqa, a freelance journalist; and Muath Abu Taha, a reporter for NBC. Hatem Khaled, a Reuters photographer, was also injured in the attack.

International media organizations have also expressed deep concern for the safety of journalists during the conflict. Neither the Israeli military nor the Prime Minister's Office immediately commented on the attack. The video below shows paramedics and civil defense personnel at Nasser Hospital being attacked by a bomb while retrieving the bodies of victims of the initial attack on the hospital.
