Agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal said “the death toll is 15, including four journalists and one civil defence member”, after strikes hit the hospital.
According to media watchdogs, around 200 journalists have been killed in nearly two years of war between Israel and Hamas.
When asked about strikes targeting a building at the medical complex, the Israeli military said it was checking the reports.
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said a group of reporters had “been martyred in the line of journalistic duty, as a result of the Israeli bombing that targeted them at Nasser Hospital”.
In a statement, it named the reporters as photojournalists Hossam Al-Masri, Mohammad Salama and Mariam Dagga, and journalist Moaz Abu Taha.
