Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon says there will be more information in the “next few days” on a strike on Nasser hospital in Gaza on Monday that killed at least 20 people, including five journalists.

“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 tells reporters.

“Our goal is to fight terrorists, not journalists, not anyone who is not involved in terrorism,” he says.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the strike on the hospital a “tragic mishap,” and the IDF vowed to thoroughly probe the circumstances of the shelling.
