Hello, we are restarting our live coverage of the Israel-Gaza war and wider Middle East crisis. The killing of at least 20 people, including five journalists, after Israel struck Nasser hospital in Gaza on Monday (25 August) has sparked international condemnation. Reuters cameraperson Hussam al-Masri , photographer Mohammed Salama, who worked for Al Jazeera, and NBC’s Moaz Abu Taha were among those killed. Victims on the fourth floor of the hospital were killed in a double-tap strike with one missile hitting first. Another strike hit as rescuers began to arrive, according to health officials. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office claimed the strike was a “tragic mishap” – and said that the military will investigate the incident. Meanwhile, Canada said it is “horrified” by the Israeli strikes on Nasser hospital, with the foreign ministry posting on X saying “Israel has the obligation to protect civilians, including journalists and healthcare workers, operating in Gaza. “Canada urges an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the protection of civilians, the unconditional release of the remaining hostages, and scaled-up UN-led humanitarian aid which can pass freely to those in need.” This comes as mass protests are being planned in Tel Aviv, as the The Hostages and Missing Families Forum are lead a national “day of struggle” today (26 August) with the aim of securing a hostage release deal. The Times of Israel reports that protesters have blocked highways, with some pitched outside the homes of government ministers. In Ness Ziona, people are reading out the names of the hostages outside the home of foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar. Elsewhere, demonstrators block pavement outside the home of economy minister Nir Barkat with long strings of hostage posters. Relatives of the captured gathered in Hostages Square in Tel Aviv to deliver speeches for the day’s press conference. “We have a wonderful people but no government … The government has abandoned, but the people will bring them back!” said Einav Zangauker, mother of Matan Zangauker, Al Jazeera reports. In other developments: Amnesty International says the Israeli military destruction of civilian property in southern Lebanon should be investigated as a war crime, AFP reports. “The Israeli military’s extensive and deliberate destruction of civilian property and agricultural land across southern Lebanon must be investigated as war crimes,” Amnesty’s statement reads. Australia’s prime minister Anthony Albanese has accused Iran of being behind a pair of 2024 antisemitic attacks. At a press conference in Canberra, Albanese said the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) “has now gathered enough credible intelligence to reach a deeply disturbing conclusion that the Iranian government directed” at least two of the recent attacks on Australia’s Jewish community. Australia has now announced it will suspend Tehran’s ambassador and is pulling diplomats from Iran. It also plans to pass legislation to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terror group.
