Israel Attacks Al-Ahli Hospital, Killing at Least 3 Journalists

HeadlineJun 05, 2025

Hours after the U.N. vote, Israel attacked the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City. Three Palestinian journalists were killed; a fourth journalist was seriously wounded. This marks the eighth time Israel has targeted the hospital. Meanwhile, the shadowy new U.S.- and Israel-backed aid group the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has suspended operations for a second straight day, after over 100 Palestinians were shot dead while seeking aid earlier this week. This is a survivor.

Survivor: “We only wanted to feed our children. They’re the ones who need food, not us. We’re used to going without, like during Ramadan. That’s why we rushed to the aid distribution site. They tempted people with promises of help, but in the end, they opened fire. Why? What did we do to deserve this?”

A new CNN investigation backs up eyewitness reports Israeli troops opened fire near an aid distribution site on Sunday, contradicting denials by Israel. Meanwhile, in southern Gaza, the Israeli military has recovered the bodies of two Israeli Americans — Judi Weinstein Haggai and her husband Gadi Haggai — who had been killed in the October 7 attack.
