JAKARTA - The United Nations insists Israel should not only investigate allegations of unlawful killings in the Gaza Strip, Palestine, such as hospital attacks that killed 20 people, including five journalists, but also had to ensure the investigation paid off.

"Israeli authorities have previously announced an investigation into such killings. But this investigation needs to bear fruit," said UN human rights office spokesman Thameen Al Kheetan, as reported by The National August 26.

"There needs to be justice. We have not seen the results or steps of accountability," he said.

Earlier, 20 people were killed, including five journalists, on Monday when an Israeli attack hit Nasser Hospital Complex in southern Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his regret for the "tragic accident".

"Israel appreciates the hard work of journalists, medical staff, and all civilians. Military authorities are conducting a thorough investigation," the statement said.
