2025 Nasser Hospital strikes
Israeli airstrike
On 25 August 2025, an Israel Defense Forces double tap strike hit the Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, Gaza Strip, killing 22 people, including 5 journalists. Among the journalists killed were the following: Hussam al-Masri, a Reuters cameraman; Mariam Dagga, a freelance journalist for Associated Press; Mohammed Salama, an Al Jazeera cameraman; Moaz Abu Taha, a freelance photographer who also was working with Reuters, and Ahmed Abu Aziz, a correspondent for Middle East Eye and Quds News Network.
The attack also claimed the lives of medical staff, a paramedic, and other civilians, with approximately 50 others wounded, including Reuters photographer Hatem Khaled who later died. The attacks targeted the hospital's fourth floor, resulting in casualties and damage. The strikes have drawn international condemnation and have been widely covered regarding the protection of medical facilities and journalists during the Gaza war.
Background
The attack occurred amidst the ongoing Gaza war and as part of the violence against journalists in Gaza. Gazan journalist Anas Al-Sharif was assassinated in a targeted killing on August 10th, a few weeks before the attack on Nasser hospital.
Nasser Hospital is one of the main hospitals in Gaza and the largest in southern Gaza. The hospital has faced multiple attacks during the war, including shelling and raids. By 2025, Nasser Hospital was operating under critical shortages of supplies and staff.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “2025 Nasser Hospital strikes” as israeli airstrike. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as israeli airstrike. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q135975317. Authority coordinates are 31.348, 34.293. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
