The UN has stated there needs to be justice following Israel's double strike on a Gaza hospital which killed at least 20 people, as an initial Israeli military probe said the strike had targeted a camera positioned by Hamas. Condemnation of the attack, whose victims included five journalists and four health workers, has been mounting, with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer describing it as completely indefensible.

Later on Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released its initial inquiry, which identified several gaps for further investigation. This comes as Israelis launched a day of nationwide protests calling on their government to accept a deal to release the hostages.

The attack on Nasser hospital in Khan Younis involved an initial strike that killed a cameraman and a second strike targeting rescuers. The IDF's report could signify a shift from Prime Minister Netanyahu’s earlier characterization of the incident as a tragic mishap. Despite the military asserting that the strikes were aimed at Hamas, the attack raised serious questions about the treatment of journalists and the operation's legality under international law.

Widespread protests in Israel demanding an end to the war and the return of hostages have erupted, calling into question the current government’s handling of the conflict and its implications for the region's civilians. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza reported that 75 Palestinian bodies had been received over the past 24 hours amid increasing devastation in the already beleaguered area. Israel's military campaign in Gaza was launched following a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel, which had already led to substantial casualties and displacement of the local population.
