(Corrects spelling of Netanyahu in headline)
CAIRO (Reuters) -Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel deeply regretted what he described as the "tragic mishap" that occurred at the Nasser hospital in the south of the Gaza Strip on Monday.
An Israeli strike on Nasser hospital killed at least 20 people, including five journalists who worked for agencies including Reuters, the Associated Press and Al Jazeera.
"Our war is with Hamas terrorists. Our just goals are defeating Hamas and bringing our hostages home," Netanyahu said.
