Reuters, AP demand 'urgent and transparent accountability' into Israel's killing of journalists at Gaza hospital

Reuters and the Associated Press have sent a joint letter to Israeli officials demanding a "clear explanation" for double-tap air strikes that killed five journalists at a hospital in Gaza on Monday.

"We are outraged that independent journalists were among the victims of this strike on the hospital, a location that is protected under international law. These journalists were present in their professional capacity, doing critical work bearing witness," the letter read.
