The Israeli army carried out a ‘double-tap’ strike on the Nasser Hospital in Gaza, killing at least 20 people, including five journalists who worked for Al Jazeera, Reuters, and the Associated Press.
During its recent attacks on Gaza, Israel targeted several high-rise towers that housed dozens of media outlets. Over the course of a week, photojournalist Mohammed Talatene worked out of three towers that were destroyed by Israeli airstrikes. Then his house was bombed. His story mirrors that of many journalists across Gaza.

At least 38,000 Palestinians have fled their homes and sought shelter in schools run by the United Nations as hundreds of houses were completely destroyed in airstrikes since last Monday. Tareq Hajjaj reports from Gaza where Palestinians describe a night of fear, running from their homes barefoot and gripping children in the midst of Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire.
