Mariam Abu Dagga, a Palestinian journalist whose photos for the Associated Press and other news outlets captured destruction and misery in Gaza, died in an Israeli strike on Gaza's Nasser Hospital on Monday, along with at least 20 other people, including four other journalists, witnesses at the scene and the Gaza Health Ministry said.

Hamas has said that none of the 21 people killed in an Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital was a member of the Palestinian movement, after the Israeli military claimed it had targeted a Hamas surveillance camera and killed six fighters in its attack on the medical facility. In a statement reported by the Reuters news agency on Wednesday, Hamas challenged the Israeli government's account that claimed to name six fighters killed in the attack, which has drawn global condemnation for targeting journalists, medics, rescue workers and civilians.

Gaza's Health Ministry said at least eight people were killed in an Israeli strike on the Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis. Journalists were reported to be among those killed, including those who had worked for Al Jazeera broadcaster and Reuters news agency. Al Jazeera later reported, citing the Gaza government's media office, that 14 people were killed in the strike in Khan Younis, including four journalists.
