The occupation claims to have targeted a "surveillance camera" to justify the massacre at Nasser Hospital.

A spokesperson for the Israeli occupation army revealed the results of a preliminary investigation into the bombing that targeted the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, which resulted in the martyrdom of 20 Palestinians, including 5 journalists. The occupation army claimed that the bombing was aimed at a 'surveillance camera' in the hospital, alleging that the camera was placed there by Hamas.

The occupation army claimed that the camera was monitoring the activities of fighters and directing terrorist activities against the forces, noting that intelligence information indicates that Hamas uses the hospital for terrorist activities. As a result, the force moved to destroy the camera.

Israeli Channel 12 reported that Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir accepted the preliminary conclusions and ordered a comprehensive investigation. Zamir considered that Hamas exploits sensitive sites like hospitals for military purposes, complicating the situation further.

In a related context, Zamir claimed that six of the dead were terrorists, one of whom participated in the attack on the occupation state on October 7. Zamir expressed regret for the harm caused to civilians who were not involved in the fighting.

The channel mentioned that Zamir directed a deeper investigation into several gaps, including the approval process among leadership before the attack, and investigating the decision-making process on the ground. It noted that the southern command is investigating why tank shells were fired despite the original approval including the use of more precise weapons.

Earlier, the occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed regret for what he described as a 'tragic incident' at Nasser Hospital, affirming that their goal is to defeat Hamas. However, the 'Sayeret Givati' unit criticized Netanyahu's statements and demanded a formal apology from him.
