The UN has said "there needs to be justice" following Israel's double strike on a Gaza hospital which killed at least 20 people, as an initial Israeli military probe said the strike had targeted a "camera positioned by Hamas".

Condemnation of the attack, whose victims included five journalists and four health workers, has been mounting, with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer describing it as "completely indefensible".

Later on Tuesday the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released its initial inquiry, which identified several "gaps" for further investigation.

It came as Israelis launched a day of nationwide protests calling on their government to accept a deal to release the hostages.
