Israel Kills 5 Journalists in a Single Day

Five journalists were killed, Sunday, in Israeli raids on different areas of the Gaza Strip. This brings the totally number of journalists killed by Israel to 2022 since it began its onslaught on Gaza soon after 7 October, 2023.

The name of the journalists martyred were Aziz Al Hajar, Abdulrahman Al Abaadleh, Ahmad Musa Al Zinati, Khaled Abu Yousef and his wife Nour Qandeel.

The journalists were killed together with the rest of their families as is the case with Al Hajar, a photojournalist who was killed with his wife and children.

The journalists were targeted through Israeli strikes on their house. Abu Yousef and his wife Nour and their baby daughter were killed in Dier Al Balah.

The case was the same with  Al Abaadleh. He was killed in his home in Al Qarara village near Khan Younis in the south of Gaza.

A week ago the Israeli army admitted it killed Hassan Al Isleih. He was receiving treatment for a previous wound in the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.

Last April the Israeli occupation bombed the “journalists tent” in Khan Younis that resulted in one journalists being killed and the injuries to a civilian and nine other journalists.
