AP freelancer among 5 journalists killed
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Health officials say Israeli strikes on a hospital in southern Gaza have killed five journalists, including a freelancer who worked for The Associated Press. Mariam Dagga was a visual journalist who freelanced for the AP and other other news outlets during the war. The head of the Health Ministry’s records department said 20 people were killed in Monday’s strikes on Nasser Hospital. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says the strike was a “tragic mishap” and that the military is investigating. The AP and Reuters are demanding an explanation in a joint letter to Israeli authorities.
