Video evidence shows Israel’s Nasser Hospital attack was targeted, not accident: Rights group
Israeli military officials, cited in local media, claimed tank fire was responsible for the back-to-back attack on Nasser Hospital yesterday that killed at least 21 people, including five journalists.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu described the attack as a “tragic mishap”.
But the Belgium-based Hind Rajab Foundation, a human rights and legal advocacy group, disputes that account. It said its analysis of attack footage indicates the weapon used was a “guided missile”.
The foundation said such a missile would be consistent with precision-guided systems used by Israel, meaning the operator would have seen or designated “the target before impact”.
The Israeli military, it claims, “therefore knew they were striking medics, civil defence crews, and journalists. This was a deliberate double-tap war crime, not an accident.
“Researchers at the #HindRajabFoundation are finalising a detailed technical report on this attack, which will be included in a forthcoming legal filing against those responsible,” says the organisation.
The IDF claims the Nasser Hospital massacre was caused by a “Tank shell.” This is false. Our researchers have analysed the footage and confirmed it shows a guided missile fired on a direct trajectory from the northwest — consistent with precision systems such as Spike NLOS .… pic.twitter.com/B3yYWtiKU2

The IDF said it was a deliberate attack on a Hamas control center (Nassar hospital) on Israeli TV. They only call it a mistake for international media.
Palestinian journalists furious at international media’s coverage of killed contributors
This is a very, very angry morning. Palestinian journalists do not know how to mourn their five colleagues [killed in Nasser Hospital yesterday] and there’s a wave of anger at the international news agencies.
Many news outlets [that the killed journalists worked for] did not even mention their contributors. The Reuters news agency did not mention in their headline their cameraman who had been working for them for months. In their article, they simply described him as a Reuters “contractor”.
As for Moaz Abu Taha [another journalist killed in the Nasser Hospital attack], not a single news organisation that he was working for said he was working for them.
Palestinian journalists have been risking their lives for 23 months now, and after they are killed, they are not even mentioned in headlines. In the end, they are mentioned as “contractors”, as “freelancers” – while, when they were alive, they were working 24/7 to produce, fix and document for these news outlets.
You see how Palestinian journalists are treated. There’s no protection when they are alive. And after they are killed, no one even mentions them.
This is how most Palestinian journalists feel – that we’re just being used as robots to report on what’s going on because there are no foreign journalists; we get killed and then everyone forgets about us.
