Palestinian journalist Hasan Aslih killed in Khan Younis drone strike
In Khan Younis, located in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian journalist Hasan Aslih was killed following an airstrike on the Nasser medical complex. According to local sources, the strike was carried out using an unmanned aerial vehicle as the journalist was receiving medical care in the hospital’s burns ward.
Drone debris was found at the scene. Medical staff and eyewitnesses claim the strike deliberately targeted the building where the journalist was being treated. This incident marks yet another attack on medical facilities and media workers in the region.
Hasan Aslih was known for reporting on events in Gaza, often highlighting the humanitarian crisis and the consequences of ongoing conflict. Local organizations report that he is among many Palestinian journalists who have been killed in the violence.
International human rights organizations and journalists’ unions expressed deep concern over the ongoing killings of media workers in the conflict zone, emphasizing that attacks on medical facilities and journalists violate international humanitarian law.
Medical personnel at Nasser Hospital stated that the attack occurred while the hospital was full of patients, many of whom had been wounded in earlier shelling. Medical services in Gaza continue to operate under severe shortages of medicine, equipment, and staff.
As of publication, the Israeli military had not issued an official statement regarding the strike or the journalist’s death. The situation remains tense, with international bodies calling for an immediate halt to attacks on civilian infrastructure.
Fighting continues in the Gaza Strip, further worsening the humanitarian disaster in the region. Human rights groups are demanding an independent investigation into the incident and accountability for those responsible.
