The Israeli military’s killing of five Palestinian journalists, including an Al Jazeera cameraman, in Gaza has caused global condemnation, with Al Jazeera Media Network accusing Israel of “assassinating journalists as part of a systematic campaign to silence the truth”.

The Israeli military bombed Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on Monday, killing five journalists, including Al Jazeera photographer Mohammad Salama .

In total, 20 people were killed in a double-tap strike – one missile hitting first, then another moments later as rescue workers and journalists arrived – on southern Gaza’s main medical facility. The attack comes as Israel has intensified its offensive to seize Gaza City, the main urban centre in the enclave of 2.3 million people, despite a famine being declared last week.
