Israel Kills Journalist No 161 in Jabalia

Palestinian journalist Muhammad Jasser was killed in an Israeli attack on the Abu Jasser family home in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, along with his wife and two children.

Gaza’s Government Media Office has now confirmed the journalist’s killing, saying his death raised the number of journalists killed in the enclave to 161.

It also said Abu Jasser has been working as a journalist for many years in several media outlets, without elaborating.

More than 38,800 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 89,400 injured, according to local health authorities.
