Year after Israeli strikes killed journalists at hospital, no one has been held accountable
A year after an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital killed 22 people, including journalists, no accountability has been established. Reports suggest the military's justification for the strike lacks evidence, raising serious questions about the incident.
Why it matters
It highlights ongoing concerns regarding the safety of journalists in conflict zones and the lack of transparency in military investigations.
It's been a year since Israeli soldiers killed 22 Palestinians, including journalists and rescue workers, in a double strike on a hospital in Gaza . No one has been held accountable.
Israeli officials said the target was a suspected Hamas camera on the roof of Nasser Hospital. Among those killed were Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri and Mariam Dagga, a visual journalist who worked for The Associated Press and other news organisations.
Despite repeated requests by AP , the army hasn't provided details about the investigation or a timeline for when it could be completed. Rights groups say Israel rarely holds troops accountable for killing Palestinians, pointing to long investigations that rarely lead to prosecution.
As global outrage over the August 25, 2025 strikes grew, the Israeli military said that in addition to taking out the camera, six of those killed were linked to Hamas, without providing evidence.
