(CNN) — Israel is facing fierce condemnation after a pair of strikes on a Gaza hospital killed five journalists as well as medical workers and others on Monday.
At least 20 people were killed in the attack, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, with many more injured.
Israel carried out back-to-back strikes on the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis separated by only a matter of minutes, the ministry said. The “double-tap” hits killed journalists, health workers and emergency response crews who had rushed to the scene after the initial attack, the Nasser Hospital said.
Dr. Mohammad Saqer, a hospital spokesman and head of nursing, said that five journalists and four health workers had died.
The journalists killed are Mohammad Salama, a cameraman from Al Jazeera, Hussam Al-Masr
