On August 25, 2025, an Israeli double-tap airstrike hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, killing at least 20 people, including five journalists from Reuters, AP, Al Jazeera, and Middle East Eye. The second strike struck as rescuers and media gathered, intensifying outrage. The IDF expressed regret and launched an inquiry, claiming journalists were not deliberate targets. The attack triggered mass protests across Gaza, the West Bank, and global capitals, with demonstrators demanding accountability, civilian protection, and an immediate ceasefire. International bodies, press groups, and the UN condemned the strike as a grave threat to press freedom.
