Israeli strike kills five Palestinian journalists in Gaza

A Palestinian TV channel says five of its journalists were killed in an Israeli strike in the central Gaza Strip.
 
The TV channel says they were in a marked van parked outside a hospital, where the wife of one of the journalists was about to give birth, in the central Nuseirat refugee camp.
 
The channel posted a video of what it said was the burning vehicle with "press" signage on the back doors.
 
The Israel Defense Forces said it had targeted "Islamic Jihad operatives posing as journalists" and that steps were taken to avoid harming civilians.
 
There has been no independent verification of the claims made by either side, and Israel is preventing international media from entering and freely working on the ground in Gaza.
