An Israeli strike has killed five Palestinian journalists outside a hospital in the Gaza Strip, the Health Ministry said.

The strike hit a car outside the Al-Awda Hospital in the built-up Nuseirat refugee camp in the central part of the territory. The journalists were working for the local news outlet Al-Quds Today, a television channel affiliated with the Islamic Jihad militant group.
