Israel Kills Another Journalist in Gaza Bombing

Civil defense teams search for victims or potential survivors through the rubble of the al-Shanti family home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City after it was bombed by Israeli warplanes. Fellow journalist Iman Hatem al-Shanti and her son, Bilal, have so far been confirmed killed in the attack.

The cursed Israeli army killed my resilient and ambitious friend, journalist Eman Al-Shanti. They bombed her home in #Gaza while she was with her children. Her eldest son, Bilal, was found killed under the rubble, but the fate of her other children is still unknown.

Eman was not just a number. Eman was not just anyone. Eman mattered.

Fellow journalist Iman Al-Shanti is a martyr, along with her family. I met her yesterday, Tuesday, in the hospital and she complimented me a lot on the coverage. She was always trying to reassure me about the situation in her difficult region. However, she and her family remained steadfast there in the face of death.

Her name and images continue to trend on the social media.

Israel Bombs ‘Journalists Tent’ in Khan Younis

Israeli forces have bombed a tent housing Palestinian journalists near Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, killing two and wounding nine others while burning them alive.

At least nine journalists were injured. They are Ahmed Mansour, Hassan Eslaih, Ahmed Al-Agha, Mohammad Fayek, Abdallah Al-Attar, Ihab Al-Bardini, Mahmoud Awad, Majed Qdeih, and Ali Eslaih.

At least two of the wounded journalists are in critical condition, one of them with severe burns and the other with a head injury from shrapnel.

In a disturbing footage circulating on social media, journalist Ahmed Mansout can be seen consumed by fire as people and rescue workers tried desperately to put it out. Mansour is a father and a journalist for Palestine Today.

“(Israeli) Missiles burned Colleague Ahmed Mansour and is still in intensive care, suffering from severe burns as a result of the targeting of the tent where he is sitting in the journalists’ camp at Nasser Hospital,” Wael Abo Omar, a Palestinian journalist in the blockaded enclave, said on X.

Mahmoud Bassam, a photojournalist based in Gaza, said Mansour “needs a miracle” to recover from the severe burns.

Journalist Helmi al-Faq’awi was tragically killed in the horrific Israeli attack along with another man, Yousef al-Khuzendar.
