Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, dubbed Israel’s “War Hero,” has bombed the last remaining hospital in Gaza as part of his expanded operation, killing 20 people including five journalists, before casually dismissing the atrocity as an “oopsie” in a move that reeks of callous indifference and deliberate targeting.
This brazen attack on a critical medical facility not only obliterates vital healthcare for Palestinians amid ongoing devastation but also underscores Netanyahu’s pattern of escalating violence under the guise of self-defense, drawing international condemnation for war crimes.
The war hero issued a statement about the hospital attack:
Israel deeply regrets the tragic mishap that occurred today at the Nasser Hospital in Gaza. Israel values the work of journalists, medical staff, and all civilians. The military authorities are conducting a thorough investigation. Our war is with Hamas terrorists. Our just goals are defeating Hamas and bringing our hostages home.
Infowars.com reports: In classic Israeli fashion, a second bomb was sent to kill the rescue teams.
Reuters detailed the attack:
Israel struck Nasser hospital in the south of the Gaza Strip on Monday, killing at least 20 people, including five journalists who worked for Reuters, the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and others.
Cameraman Hussam al-Masri, a Reuters contractor, was killed near a live broadcasting position operated by Reuters on an upper floor just below the roof of the hospital in Khan Younis in an initial strike, Palestinian health officials said.

Officials at the hospital and witnesses said Israel then struck the site a second time, killing other journalists as well as rescue workers and medics who had rushed to the scene to help.
The journalists killed included Mariam Abu Dagga, who freelanced for the Associated Press and other outlets, Mohammed Salama, who worked for Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera, Moaz Abu Taha, a freelance journalist who worked with several news organisations including occasionally contributing to Reuters, and Ahmed Abu Aziz.
Photographer Hatem Khaled, also a Reuters contractor, was wounded.
“[The IDF] regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals and does not target journalists as such. The IDF acts to mitigate harm to uninvolved individuals as much as possible while maintaining the safety of IDF troops,” the Israel Defense Forces said.
Israel has used other tactics during its genocide, including drones that play the sound of babies crying to lure Palestinians outside to kill them.
Another tactic Israel uses in their genocide is shooting at starving Palestinians to “guide” them to their food.
