Israel Kills Gaza Journalist Number 159

CROSSFIREARABIA – Gaza’s Mohammad Abu Ermana is the latest journalist to be killed in the Mawasi displaced camp outside Khan Younis.

He becomes journalist number 159 to be killed by the Israeli army since 7 October 2023.

His latest death is trending on social media. He is among other 71 Palestinian who were killed in Al Mawasi, not to say anything about the 289 others injured.

The death of the latest journalist to have been killed is related to another claim the Israeli army is making through the Israeli daily Hayom which reported and without giving any evidence, that the main goal of the airstrike on Al Mawasi was to eliminate Mohammed Deif, commander-in-chief of the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ armed wing as reported in Anadolu.

The Gaza government said Saturday that Israel is “spreading fake news” about targeting Hamas leaders to divert attention from its deadly attack on displaced Palestinians’ tents in Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip, the Turkish news agency reported.

Israel has practiced “a policy of deception repeatedly since the start of its offensive, in an attempt to cover up its failures and crimes against civilians and the displaced, especially among children and women,” the Gaza Media Office said in a statement.

This is how one Palestinian put it: “They [Israel] bombed us while praying, they bombed us while eating, they bombed us while fetching water, they bombed us while waiting in line for the bathroom, they bombed us while fleeing, they bombed us while seeking shade from the sun, and they bombed us while searching for a bag of flour.

They keep bombing us, over and over again; and each time they do, the world gets more accustomed to the idea of our death, and we become as though we are ‘nothing’.”
