Five Palestinian journalists who worked for international news organizations were killed in Gaza on Monday along with several others in what local officials said was an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis.
Several more people were also killed in the strike, according to officials from Gaza’s health ministry.
Israel said it had carried out a strike in the area of the hospital, but did not identify the target. The Israeli military said in its statement that it “does not target journalists as such.” At least 192 journalists have been killed since the start of the war, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
These are the journalists who were killed Monday:

A 33-year-old visual journalist, Ms. Dagga was a freelancer for The Associated Press and other news outlets. Ms. Dagga’s son had been evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war, the news agency said in a story.
