Israel’s deadly strike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital yesterday is “completely unacceptable,” says the European Union’s diplomatic arm in a statement.

“Civilians and journalists must be protected under international law,” says the EU’s External Action Service. “The EU reiterates its call on Israel to respect international humanitarian law and to ensure that these attacks are investigated, noting the statement by the Israeli authorities that a thorough investigation will be conducted. There have been too many fatalities in this conflict.”

The Monday morning attack killed at least 20 people, including five journalists, according to media reports and the Hamas-run health ministry.
