At least 20 people, including 5 journalists, died when Israeli double strikes hit Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a “tragic mishap” and promised an investigation. The UK Prime Minister’s office said the attack was “horrific” and “completely indefensible,” urging a ceasefire. The European Commission called the strikes “completely unacceptable,” stressing civilians and journalists must be protected under international law. Families of hostages held by Hamas protested across Israel, blocking roads and burning tyres. In Brussels, journalists gathered to honor colleagues killed in Gaza, demanding protection for press freedom in war zones. (PC: BBC)
