Israel is facing accusations of intentionally targeting journalists in Gaza, with at least 128 journalists killed during the yearlong offensive. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has disputed Israel’s claims that some journalists are terrorists and has warned of the dangers faced by media workers in the region. In Gaza, the health ministry reported 38 people killed and dozens injured in Israeli strikes in Khan Younis, along with chaos at a hospital in Beit Lahia where patients, medical staff, and displaced Palestinians were detained by Israeli forces. The United Nations has warned of a humanitarian crisis in northern Gaza as access to essential supplies dwindles, with over 600 people killed in the offensive. Israeli forces have targeted refugee camps, including a deadly strike on a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp that killed at least 18 people. The IDF claimed to be targeting Hamas militants but did not confirm any casualties. The situation in Gaza is described as catastrophic, with ongoing violence and civilian casualties. NBC News reporters Chantal Da Silva, Tavleen Tarrant, and Doha Madani contributed to the coverage of the escalating conflict in Gaza.
