Journalists injured in Gaza hospital air strike
By Rushdi Abualouf & George Wright
Seven journalists, including one working for the BBC, have been injured in an Israeli air strike in the courtyard of a hospital in Gaza.
Four members of the Islamic Jihad (IJ) militant group were killed in the attack, the BBC understands.
The Israeli military said it struck an IJ command centre in the grounds of the al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah.
Hamas and medical staff deny Israeli accusations that militants use hospitals as bases.
Islamic Jihad, an ally of Hamas, has not commented.
The journalists were among hundreds who are sheltering in makeshift tents in the grounds of the hospital.
Most of the journalists camped inside the hospital grounds are from northern Gaza. They continue to work under extremely tough conditions, with little food, water or electricity, and the ever-present threat of Israeli strikes.
Many work by selling photos documenting life in and around the hospital, while also looking after their young families living with them inside the tents.
