Five journalists were killed in Israeli strikes on a hospital in southern Gaza yesterday, their respective news outlets said.
The attack has since been widely condemned by the international community. The UK's foreign secretary has said he was "horrified", while French President Emmanuel Macron has called the strikes "intolerable", stressing that civilians and journalists must be protected.
Israel's PM has said it was a "tragic mishap" and that military authorities are "conducting a thorough investigation".
The journalists killed on Monday include:

Ruby Chen, the father of Itay Chen, demands that Netanyahu's government prioritise releasing those being held captive and "get a deal done" immediately.
“President Trump, you stated yesterday that you believe in two, three weeks we will conclude this episode," Itay says.
"We pray to God that this is correct and you put a deadline in front of the prime minister to make sure that this is the end.
"You have committed to us, hostage families, when meeting us, that you will bring all of them back home. Now is the time to step up and make it happen."

Alongside demanding that Israel's PM secure a deal with Hamas to bring the remaining hostages home, protesters today are also repeating their call for Donald Trump to help finalise a ceasefire.
In his most recent remarks on the conflict yesterday, the US president said he has stressed to Benjamin Netanyahu that "you better get it settled soon".
"I think within the next two or three weeks you're going to get a pretty good, conclusive ending," he told reporters in the Oval Office. But he added it was "a hard thing to say" for certain.
He said Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack on Israel was "about as bad as it gets".
"But a lot of people are dying and I want to get it settled," he said, adding it is a "terrible, terrible situation" in Gaza.

Einav Zangauker is the mother of Matan Zangauker who was kidnapped by Hamas on 7 October 2023 - and this morning she has voiced her criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
"For 690 days, the government has been waging a war without a clear objective," she says during a news conference in Tel Aviv.
"Today, it is clear that Netanyahu fears one thing, public pressure. We could have ended the war a year ago and brought all the hostages and soldiers home.
"We could have saved hostages and soldiers, but the prime minister chose, again and again, to sacrifice civilians for the sake of his rule."
A reminder: The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has begun another day of action, blocking main roads across the country as the group calls on the government to seal a deal and bring the hostages back. Twenty hostages held by Hamas are still believed to be alive.

At least 20 people, including five journalists, were killed on Monday after two Israeli strikes hit a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, the Hamas-run health ministry says.
The journalists had worked with Reuters, AP, Al Jazeera and the Middle East Eye, the news outlets confirmed. Four health workers were also killed, the World Health Organization's chief said.
Footage shows a second strike hitting rescuers who had arrived to help those targeted by the initial attack.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident a "tragic mishap" and said military authorities were "conducting a thorough investigation".
The latest deaths brings the number of journalists killed in Gaza since the start of the war there in October 2023 to nearly 200.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza also said on Monday that the bodies of 58 people who had been killed in Israeli attacks had reached Gaza's hospitals over the past day, with more bodies unreachable under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
Some footage has just come through to us showing protesters burning tyres and blocking traffic near the kibbutz of Yakum.
The stretch of road is about 30km (19 miles) north of Tel Aviv.
Thick black smoke can be seen billowing over the road as demonstrators wave Israeli and yellow flags - symbolising solidarity with the hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza.
Image source, ReutersThe day of action, announced by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, began at 06:29 local time (04:29 BST) - the same time that Hamas launched an attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, killing 1,200 people.
Demonstrators have already unfurled Israeli flags outside the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, while major roads across the country have been blocked.
Footage posted online shows a large fire being lit along sections of a road linking Tel Aviv with Jerusalem. Elsewhere, on the outskirts of Tel Aviv sections along the Coastal Highway are also closed.
Later today, a "mothers and strollers" protest is planned at Hostages Square, while marches nationwide are expected to be held at 14:00 local time.
The day is set to culminate in the evening with a big march from the Savidor station in Tel Aviv to Hostages Square, where a final demonstration will take place, according to the Times of Israel.
We're now seeing some images out of Israel which show traffic on major highways coming to a near standstill as demonstrations take place across the country.
The Coastal Highway, also known as Route 2, is closed to traffic around Yakum Junction, north of Tel Aviv, after protesters lit a fire in the middle of the road.
Here's a look at some of the scenes unfolding on streets across Israel this morning:

Image source, ReutersThe Hostages and Missing Families Forum has begun another day of action – blocking main roads for many morning commuters in Israel with plans to hold a large rally in Tel Aviv this evening.
The group is also calling, again, on President Donald Trump for help to finalise a ceasefire deal and bring home all of those held captive. Twenty hostages held by Hamas are still believed to be alive.
Speaking last night about the Gaza war, Trump predicted that “in the next two to three weeks you’re going to have a pretty conclusive ending” – raising hopes of a ceasefire.
However, Israeli media report that the prime minister is not due to bring up the latest proposal for a 60-day truce and the return of about half the hostages when he meets his security cabinet later.
Reports say that is because Israel now wants only a comprehensive deal to bring back all the hostages at once and end the war on its terms.

Image source, ReutersProtesters are gathering at rallies and demonstrations across Israel this morning, calling for an end to Israel's military campaign in Gaza and the return of the remaining hostages being held by Hamas.
The demonstrations are being organised by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum - a group which has long called for Israel's government to prioritise the release of the hostages and end the war immediately.
It comes as Israel has been ramping up its offensive in the Gaza Strip, carrying out strikes on Gaza City in advance of its planned invasion of the territory's largest urban area.
Israel saw widespread condemnation yesterday after its strikes on a hospital in southern Gaza killed at least 20 people, including five journalists and four health workers.
Stay with us, as our teams in London and Jerusalem will bring you the latest updates on the day of protests across the country as it unfolds.

Condemnation from world leaders, international bodies and aid organisations has followed the news that five more journalists - and at least 15 others - have been killed by Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, a city in the south of Gaza.
A "tragic mishap" is how Netanyahu describes the attacks, which saw a second strike hit emergency workers directly while responding to the first. This moment was captured on a live stream.
This "double-tap" tactic has been used by Israel before, writes our correspondent Lucy Williamson, while Emir Nader says that the BBC's ability to report on the war "is diminished" with every killing.
Tomorrow, Israel will see a day of protest organised by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, who are calling for the government to secure a hostage release deal.
For now though, we're wrapping our live coverage:

Throughout the Gaza war, most key Israeli media outlets have questioned the independence of journalists in Gaza, at times dubbing them "terrorists" in the face of international criticism of Israel's killing of media workers.
Mainstream and right-wing Israeli media have long echoed official government and army lines, the notable exception being the left-leaning newspaper Haaretz.
While the Israeli army has ordered an initial inquiry into today's strike, the right-wing Channel 14 has already portrayed those killed as "terrorists disguised as journalists".
Channel 14, which is known for its favourable coverage of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is reported to be Israel's second most-watched TV channel.
Today, it has asserted that the back-to-back Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital were an attack on "targets of the murderous Hamas terrorist organisation in Khan Younis".
It claimed the attacks had "killed more than 10 terrorists, including activists who carried out propaganda and endangered the lives of civilians" - although the army has not yet presented evidence to back this claim.
Image source, ReutersDonald Trump has commented again on the situation in Gaza, saying "I deal with Bibi Netanyahu quite a lot" and that he has told him "you better get it settled soon".
Making the remarks to a journalist while hosting a meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung in the White House, the US president goes on to say that nobody should forget about the 7 October Hamas attacks on Israel, which was "about as bad as it gets".
He then says of the ongoing war, "but that being said, it's got to get over with, between the hunger and all of the other problems".
Trump tells reporters that a "very serious" diplomatic push on Gaza to end the war and secure the release of Israeli hostages held there.
"It's coming to an end," he adds. "I think in the next two to three weeks you're going to have a pretty conclusive ending".
Image source, EPA/ShutterstockThe UN secretary-general has issued a statement saying he "strongly condemns" the killing of Palestinians in the strikes on Nasser Hospital this morning.
"These latest horrific killings highlight the extreme risks that medical personnel and journalists face," says the statement, issued by the spokesman for António Guterres.
It goes on to demand that civilians, including medical personnel and journalists "be protected at all times" and calls for a "prompt, and impartial investigation into these killings".
Journalists should be able to work "without interference, intimidation, or harm, in full accordance with international humanitarian law", says Guterres.
He finishes by demanding "an immediate and permanent ceasefire, unfettered humanitarian access across Gaza and for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages".
We've just got this new comment from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In the statement on X, it says that "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" it continues.
Military authorities are conducting a "thorough investigation".
The PM's office finishes by saying that "our war is with Hamas terrorists. Our just goals are defeating Hamas and bringing our hostages home".

Almost 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the war, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists - and the vast majority of them were Palestinian.
It is the world’s deadliest conflict for reporters, a mirror of the vast human toll this war has taken on the population there.
The so-called "double-tap" bombing tactic used by Israel is often fatal for journalists - who rush to the scene of the first strike, only to be hit by a later one.
But Israel has also routinely targeted journalists it accuses of working for Hamas, sometimes killing many of their media colleagues alongside them.
As civilians, journalists covering conflicts are protected under International law, unless they take an active part in the fighting.
Simply disseminating propaganda for the enemy doesn't count. Some of the world's leading press freedom groups have accused Israel of deliberately targeting journalists, which it denies.
It has blocked international journalists from reporting freely from Gaza for the entire 22 months of this war – the first time this has happened in any modern conflict.
But Israel routinely allows medics and aid workers in and out of the Gaza Strip, and has provided no convincing explanation for why international journalists remain banned.
French President Emmanuel Macron is the latest to respond to this morning's strikes on Nasser hospital.
He calls the strikes "intolerable" as he underlines that civilians and journalists "must be protected in all circumstances".
"The media must be able to carry out their mission freely and independently to cover the reality of the conflict. Humanitarian aid must return. We call on Israel to respect international law," Macron adds.
He is one of a number of international leaders to respond to the attack so far.
Germany's foreign office has said it is "shocked" by the killing of several journalists, rescue workers and other civilians. It has called for the attack to be investigated.
Meanwhile, Turkey's head of communications said Israel "has committed yet another crime against humanity".
"Press freedom and human values have been targeted once again," the statement continues.
As a reminder, earlier, when asked for his reaction, US President Trump said he doesn't want to see it, while UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said he was "horrified".

We can now bring you a statement from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), which our Jerusalem correspondent wrote about a short while ago.
It "condemns the Israeli strikes" and "calls for the international community to hold Israel accountable for its continued unlawful attacks on the press".
The statement, published on the CPJ's website, continues: "Israel's broadcasted killing of journalists in Gaza continues while the world watches and fails to act firmly".
Sara Qudah, the regional director of the CPJ - which is a New York-based organisation that advocates for press freedom globally - calls the recent strikes "the most horrific attacks the press has ever faced in recent history".
Earlier, the Israel Defense Forces issued a response to the attack, saying it "does not target journalists as such".
