The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed in a statement that “six of the individuals killed” in its strikes on Nasser Hospital were terrorists.
“Six of the individuals killed were terrorists, one of whom took part in the infiltration into Israeli territory on October 7th,” said the statement, which announced the conclusion of the initial inquiry into the incident. “At the same time, the Chief of the General Staff regrets any harm caused to civilians.”
A security source told CNN that none of the journalists killed on Monday were targets of the strike.
Israel has faced global condemnation after the attack on the Gaza hospital killed at least 20 people, including five journalists and medical workers who had rushed to the scene after the initial attack.
