Two Israeli strikes hit a hospital in southern Gaza on Monday, killing four Palestinian journalists, a rescue worker and several more people, according to local officials.

The Gaza Health Ministry put the initial death toll at eight and said many more had been injured. The four journalists killed all had worked for international media outlets, local journalists said.

The Israeli military said it had carried out a strike in the area of Nasser Hospital, without saying what the target was. The statement said the military regretted “any harm to uninvolved individuals,” adding that the military’s chief of staff had ordered an immediate inquiry.

The war in Gaza that began nearly two years ago has been one of the deadliest conflicts for journalists, with at least 192 killed since the start of the war, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. The killings have prompted international outrage.
