  "account": "A year after Israeli forces killed 22 people, including journalists and rescue workers, in a strike on a hospital in Gaza, there is still no one to answer for the atrocities. The target, according to Israeli officials, was a suspected Hamas camera on the roof of Nasser Hospital. Among the victims were Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri and Mariam Dagga, a visual journalist for The Associated Press and other news organizations.\n\nDespite numerous requests, the army has not provided any details regarding the investigation or a timeline for its completion. Rights groups argue that Israel rarely holds its troops accountable for killing Palestinians, citing lengthy investigations that seldom result in prosecution.\n\nFollowing the Aug. 25, 2025, strike, the Israeli military claimed that, apart from taking out the camera, six of those killed were connected to Hamas, but offered no evidence to back up their claims. However, an anonymous Israeli soldier, who has been privy to discussions surrounding the military's response, now states that there is no evidence linking the camera, belonging to al-Masri, to Hamas. According to the soldier, none of the six individuals were the intended targets of the strike.\n\nThe Associated Press (AP) sent detailed questions to the military about the allegations, along with other queries regarding the strikes. However, the military did not address the questions but stated via text that the incident is being examined, and the findings will be transferred to the Military Advocate General’s Corps to determine whether to open a criminal investigation. The military did not provide a timeline for the investigation.\n\nAP initially reported that one of the six individuals the military claimed were linked to Hamas was not on the hospital's list of casualties, and two others were medical or emergency personnel. The discrepancy in information, combined with the soldier's account, raises serious questions about Israel's justification for the strike.",
