Investigation Reveals More Lies by Barbaric Israeli’s: ‘Hamas Cameras’ were Actually Reuters' Cameras Monitored by Authorities before and during Attack on a Hospital Murdering 22 People

A Reuters investigation has revealed that what Israel called “Hamas camera” at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital was actually a Reuters camera. Israeli drones monitored the hospital before and during the deadly attack that killed journalists.

On August 25, Israeli forces struck Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing 22 people, including Reuters journalist Hussam al-Masri, AP journalist Mariam Dagga, and freelance journalist Moaz Abu Taha. Israel initially claimed the strike targeted a “Hamas camera” filming troops from the hospital. The investigation found this was false. Masri had positioned his camera on a stairwell for live coverage of Gaza. He routinely covered it with his green-and-white prayer rug to protect it from heat and dust.

Reuters reviewed over 100 videos and photos from the scene and interviewed more than two dozen sources, including Israeli military officials. The investigation confirmed that the camera was visible in drone footage for several days before the attack.

Witnesses said Israeli drones hovered near the hospital entrance for more than ten minutes before the attack. The drones recorded doctors, nurses, journalists, and emergency responders moving on the ground. “They saw us and decided to hit us,” said Dr. Ahmed Abu Ubeid, who was injured in the strike. [MORE]
