Directly after an appeal by Hamas captivity survivor Ilana Gritzewsky, whose partner is still being held in Gaza, at a press conference ahead of a United Nations Security Council meeting on Wednesday, reporters asked UN representative Danny Danon about Israel's Monday strike on the Nasser Hospital, which killed several journalists.
The reporters ignored Gritzwesky's testimony.
Gritzwesky described her experience being held in Gaza's underground tunnels, with little light and food.
She described the post-traumatic stress disorder she has faced since she was released.
Dannon told reporters that there will be more information in the “next few days” on the strike.
Israel to provide more details on strike in coming days
“We're still looking into the details of that incident, and so that in the next few days we will have more information about that,” Danon told reporters.
“Our goal is to fight terrorists, not journalists, not anyone who is not involved in terrorism,” he said.
Israel's military has concluded six Hamas members were killed in the strike on Nasser Hospital on Monday, acting US Ambassador to the United Nations Dorothy Shea told the UN Security Council.
She said that "the IDF struck the site Hamas was using to monitor troops at the hospital," using an acronym for Israel's military.
"We note the prompt nature of this investigation and response and call on this council to condemn the continued use of civilian infrastructure by Hamas," she said.
