The strike was among the deadliest of several Israeli strikes that have hit both hospitals and journalists over the course of the 22-month war.

Israel is facing fierce condemnation after a pair of strikes on a Gaza hospital killed five journalists as well as medical workers and others on Monday.

Dozens of people were killed in Gaza, officials said Saturday, as protestors in Israel demand an end to the war in the Palestinian enclave and release of the remaining Hamas-held hostages.
