New Video Reveals Triple Strike in Deadly Gaza Hospital Attack, Sparking Fresh Outcry

The international community continues to condemn a devastating attack on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza earlier this week, which resulted in the deaths of at least 22 people, including health workers, emergency responders, and five journalists. Fresh evidence, including new video footage obtained by CNN, now indicates that what was initially described as a ‘double-tap’ attack was, in fact, a sequence of three nearly simultaneous strikes.

The incident began on Monday morning when a tank shell struck a balcony at Nasser Hospital, killing a Reuters cameraman and others. Moments later, as rescue workers and journalists rushed to assist the initial victims, they were hit by what appears to be two near-simultaneous munitions, causing the majority of the fatalities. This new footage challenges earlier accounts and intensifies scrutiny on the Israeli military’s actions.

Intentionally targeting rescue workers, journalists, and civilians constitutes a violation of international humanitarian law and is considered a war crime. Following the attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu initially labeled the incident a ‘tragic mishap.’ However, the Israeli military later defended the assault, claiming it targeted a ‘camera positioned by Hamas’ and that six ‘terrorists’ were among the dead, a claim disputed by Hamas and Gaza health officials.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Doctors Without Borders (MSF), and numerous international organizations and countries have vehemently denounced the strikes, demanding a thorough investigation. Nasser Hospital remains the sole functioning medical facility in southern Gaza, with healthcare workers reporting unbearable pressure amidst ongoing military operations. As the world grapples with the escalating humanitarian crisis, the revelation of a triple strike further fuels calls for accountability and adherence to international law in the conflict-ridden region.
