The United Nations has stated that “” needs to do justice “after the Dual strike of Israel at Gaza Hospital, in which at least 20 people died, as an early Israeli military inquiry said the strike had targeted the” camera stationed by Hamas “.
Condemnation of the attack, whose victims included five journalists and four health workers, have been growing, Britain’s Prime Minister Kir Stmper described it as “completely indefinite”.
Later on Tuesday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) issued their preliminary inquiry, which identified several “gaps” for further investigation.
This came when the Israelis one day began a nationwide protests, calling their government to accept a deal to release the hostages.
The Monday attack at Nasir Hospital in Khan Younis saw an initial strike killing at least one person, a recital cameraman, operating a live TV feed from a ladder on the banks of the hospital building. About 10 minutes later, another strike at the same place killed journalists and rescue teams who were participating in the scene.
At least 20 people, including four health workers and five journalists, were killed, who worked for international media outlets, including Associated Press, Reuters, Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye.
“This is a setback and it is unacceptable,” that the United Nations’ Human Rights Office spokesman Themen al-Khitan said on Tuesday.
“This raises many questions about the targeting of many, journalists and all these incidents should be thoroughly investigated and those responsible should be held accountable.”
Talking about Israel’s investigation into deaths in Gaza, he said: “These investigations need to get the results. There is a need to do justice. We have not yet seen the results or accountability measures.”
In its statement, the IDF stated that it identified a camera posted by Hamas in the hospital area, using “to inspect the activity of IDF soldiers”, without providing evidence.
“The soldiers operated to remove the danger by striking and destroying the camera,” the statement said. It alleged that six of those killed were “terrorists”. A military spokesperson later said that journalists working for Reuters and Associated Press were not a goal.
The IDF report appears to be a change in tone from Prime Minister Netanyahu’s statement on Monday evening, which depicted the incident as a “tragic accident”.
However, the IDF did not explain why a second attack was launched after the first. Instead it was said that further investigation was required in the authority process, including ammunition used and the “decision making process in the area” of the military.
Israel has repeatedly targeted hospitals in Gaza throughout the war, despite the security in international law, saying that medical facilities are being used by Hamas.
In Israel, the protesters blocked the highways with burning tires and performed in Tel Aviv and other cities and agreed to a ceasefire deal to return the remaining hostages organized by Hamas to demand their government, and ended the war.
The Israeli government has so far rejected a ceasefire proposal agreed by Hamas, yet the first sign was signed up.
Netanyahu says that the government now wants a separate deal that will look at all the hostages in an exchange.
Israel believes that only 20 of the 50 bounds organized by Hamas in Gaza are still alive 22 months after the war.
“Israel stands against Netanyahu and his rule,” said Nimrod Cohen’s father Yehuda Cohen, who was held hostage in the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023.
“Another day for protest, another day to ensure that the issue of hostages is a high priority. Another day forced him to pressurize Netanyahu and forces him to end the war and get a hostage deal.”
In Jerusalem, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Prime Minister’s Office where a security cabinet meeting was being held.
Qatar, one of the parties involved in the ceasefire talks, said that the mediators were still “waiting for a reply” for the latest proposal from Israel.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mazed al-Ansari said, “The responsibility is now to respond to a proposal from Israeli which is on the table. Anything is a political posture.”
American envoy Steve Witchoff said that President Donald Trump would preside over a meeting on the after -war plan for Gaza at the White House on Wednesday.
“We feel that we are going to settle this way before the end of this year,” he told Fox News.
