Israel alleges that there was "a Hamas camera" in the hospital in Gaza that killed 20 people, including five journalists
On Tuesday, the Israeli Army published what it has called an initial "initial investigation" into the double attack on the Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, in which 20 people, including five journalists, were killed, and Israel argues that the troops found a "camera installed by Hamas" in the vicinity of the hospital to "observe the activity of the troops and conduct terrorist activities", but has offered no evidence.
Asked by the EFE news agency, a spokesman for the soldiers has said that he cannot clarify whether the Army means that a Hamas militia allegedly left a camera in the building and fled, or accuses the cameraman of the British agency Reuters, killed in the attack, of belonging to Islamists.
The cameraman Hussam al-Masri, a Reuters contractor, died on Monday while recording live attacks on stairs on the last floor of the Nasser hospital. In a second bombing, Israel killed other journalists and rescuers.
In addition, Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has said that six of those killed on Monday, all men, were "Hamas or Jihad militiamen," but no evidence has been provided.
The attack was a two-stage bombing called a "double strike," an illegal technique under international law that seeks to cause casualties among civilians who come to evacuate and rescue potential victims of a first bombing.
