An Israeli air strike on the emergency department of Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza has killed a well-known Palestinian photojournalist, medical sources and eyewitnesses say.
Hassan Aslih, who was being treated for injuries from a previous Israeli strike, was targeted in what witnesses described as a drone attack on the hospital’s surgical wing.
A doctor there confirmed that Aslih had been at the hospital for nearly a month after surviving an air strike on the same facility in April.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement it had attacked Nasser Hospital in what it said was “a targeted attack on key terrorists”, but did not name Aslih.
It’s strangely common, how often oppressive, cruel and evil people use words like defence, safety, security to describe offense, danger, destruction.
Never trust any authority that takes life or livelihood. And never let them take it.
