Inside the Nasser Hospital strike: Mariam Abu Dagga and the shadow of war crimes
The Independent reconstructs the 25 August 2025 double-tap strike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital that killed Mariam Abu Dagga and multiple journalists and first responders. Based on witness testimony, whistleblowers and independent analyses, it argues the second blast targeted civilians and press in a way that could constitute war crimes, while Israel maintains it hit a Hamas camera; Reuters corroborated the camera from journalist feeds. UN experts and CPJ have highlighted risks to journalists in Gaza, and there has been no accountability to date.
