Nasser Hospital: New Evidence Reveals 'Triple Strike'

Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza was attacked, causing international outcry. Initial reports mentioned a 'double strike,' but new evidence reveals it was actually a triple strike.

According to a CNN report, a video shows that the second strike consisted of two almost simultaneous attacks. The first attack hit the hospital's external staircase at 10:08 AM (local time). Nine minutes later, two additional attacks occurred at 10:17 AM.

Reuters contributor Hatem Omar stated that journalists, patients, and rescuers were on the stairs and were directly targeted. Video analysis shows that two munitions were fired at the hospital almost simultaneously. Weapons expert N.R. Jenzen-Jones stated that the shells likely came from tanks.

The IDF did not comment regarding the third shell. The five journalists killed were Al Marsi (Reuters), Mariam Abu Dagga, Moat Abu Taha, Ahmed Abu Aziz, and Mohammed Salama (Al Jazeera).

The attack site was frequently used by journalists for live broadcasts and internet access. A satellite image shows Israeli tanks near the hospital.
