Hassan Eslaih, a Palestinian journalist, died in Nasser Hospital due to injuries from an earlier Israeli attack. The Israeli army admitted to targeting the hospital, claiming it was linked to Hamas activity. Eslaih was known for his contributions to various media organizations and was denied allegations of being a Hamas fighter. This incident reflects the broader context of violence against journalists in the region, with significant casualties reported since the conflict escalated. The attack has prompted critiques regarding the targeting of civilian infrastructure during military operations.
Eslaih was the director of the Alam24 News Agency and a freelancer who contributed to international news organisations, including photos of the Hamas-led October 7 attack.
Abu Ghali said, 'The Israeli bombardment does not differentiate between civilians and military targets. This is a civilian hospital that receives injured people around the clock.'
The compound was used by the terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and [military] troops, the post said, in what appeared to be a reference to Eslaih and Hamas.
At least 178 journalists and media workers have been killed in Palestine, Israel, and Lebanon since the war began, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
