00:00Israel's prime minister is facing growing international backlash after a deadly strike on Gaza's Nazar hospital.
00:14Benjamin Netanyahu's office released a statement calling the strike on Nazar a tragic mishap and promised a full investigation.
00:23Israel's military acknowledged it carried out the attack, saying troops had targeted a camera it claimed Hamas was using for surveillance.
00:31The IDF said six of those killed were militants, while also admitting civilians died and ordered a review of how the strike was approved.
00:40Palestinian health officials said at least 20 people were killed, including five journalists.
00:45Reuters confirmed its cameraman died, along with freelancers who worked for the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and other outlets.
00:53Another Reuters photographer was injured, and witnesses reported a second strike that hit medics and journalists who rushed in to help.
01:00Israel insists its fight is with Hamas, not civilians, but the incident comes as the country's security cabinet meets to weigh a ceasefire deal backed by Hamas, Qatar and Egypt.
01:11The plan would release some hostages and expand humanitarian aid.
01:16Protesters across Israel pressed Netanyahu to accept the deal, calling further military action a stab in the heart of hostage families.
01:24International outrage grew after the hospital strike.
01:27The World Health Organization said attacks on health care must stop immediately and demanded a ceasefire.
01:33The war, now in its second year, has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health ministry.
01:40Meanwhile, Egypt has reinforced its border at Rafah, warning it will not accept Palestinians pushed into Sinai as the fighting escalates.
