On Monday, Nasser Hospital, the largest medical facility in southern Gaza and one of the few still partially operational in the region, was struck twice by Israeli airstrikes. Reports indicate that at least 20 individuals, including journalists and healthcare personnel, were killed in the incident.
The attack has prompted international condemnation, with the United Nations calling for justice in response to the casualties. In the aftermath, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to the incident as a “tragic mishap.”
The Israeli military stated on Tuesday that the strikes were aimed at a “camera positioned by Hamas,” although no evidence was provided to substantiate this claim. The military indicated that further investigation would be conducted to clarify how the strikes were authorized.
BBC Verify has engaged in analyzing footage from the attack and its aftermath to construct a timeline of events and gather insights on the situation. The sequence of events has raised questions about the operational decisions made prior to the strikes and the specific circumstances that led to the targeting of the hospital.
Further developments regarding the investigations and reactions from the international community may provide additional context to this incident.
