00:00We're just getting some breaking news now that a journalist has been killed in an Israeli army
00:05attack on Nasser Hospital Complex that is in Khan Yunis in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
00:10And that brings the total number of media workers killed in Gaza to more than 200 since the start
00:17of this war. Al Jazeera's Hinn Khudari is live outside the largest healthcare facility in central
00:26Gaza. That's the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deralbala. It's not very far north from Khan Yunis. Hind,
00:31what have you been able to find out just in the last few moments since we learned of this killing?
00:40Okay, so the attack started, took place in the past couple of minutes where the Israeli forces
00:47exploded a suicidal explosive drone. And this is a very small drone, more like a quad captor,
00:53and it targeted the upper part of Al-Nasser Hospital, especially the rooftop where a couple of
01:01journalists were actually standing over there. And one of the journalists, he's a cameraman,
01:12his name is Hussam al-Mosri and he's a cameraman. He was killed in this attack. Now what happened is
01:20after the first attack took place, a lot of civil defense teams, medical staff went up to rescue
01:27and to retrieve the bodies of those killed and injured. And then another attack took place in the
01:32same exact place where now there are reports on more casualties. Another two journalists at least have
01:39been injured in the second attack. And according to the local witnesses there, there were two attacks in
01:47the past five minutes took place in the same exact place. Now, let me remind you that this is not the
01:53first time the Israeli forces target Al-Nasser Hospital. The journalist Hassan Slayeh was actually
02:01killed inside the hospital after the Israeli forces targeted the hospital a couple of months ago.
02:07So we're seeing a lot of targets against Palestinian journalists, against the medical facilities,
02:14against hospitals across the Gaza Strip. And this is continuing every single day. Now, the story did not finish
02:20because there are a lot of more Palestinians still injured. We do not know who has been in this attack,
02:28but at least three journalists have been affected in the past attack on Nasser Hospital.
02:33Hinde, as you speak, we are watching the footage of the immediate aftermath of that attack at Al-Nasser Hospital.
02:40That's in Khan Yunus, the southern part of the Gaza Strip, where a cameraman, Hossam Al-Masri,
02:46has just been killed, as Hinde was reporting, by an Israeli suicide drone.
02:54And a reminder to our viewers that this comes just barely two weeks after an Israeli targeted attack
03:02murdered four Al-Jazeera journalists, including Anas Al-Sharif. And that was in the compound of yet another
03:08hospital. At that time, it was in Al-Sharif hospital in the northern part of the Strip.
03:12All right, Hinde, thank you very much for your reporting. We'll speak again.
