Israeli Drone Kills Journalist Mahmood Abu Daqqa in Khan Yunis

CROSSFIREARABIA – Israel kills another Palestinian journalist, morning Tuesday, in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip with his name trending.

Mohammad Majed Abu Daqqa was killed in central Khan Younis near the Abu Hamid roundabout.

He was one of four other civilians including Seraj Munir Musa Asfour, Abdelatif Ghaemi Baraka, and Samir Shadi Al Jourani.

They had been sitting on the sidewalk, unarmed with nothing but a can of beans they got for their families.

This is what one blogger wrote about the slain journalist who was targeted for no apparent reason.

Another blogging said it was almost as he was waiting for the inevitability of his fate, writing:

Another wrote: “May God grant Mohammad Abu Daqqa and all the martyrs The Highest Paradise. Ameen. We must do something to stop the bloodshed in that country immediately. Stop Genocide. Free Palestine.”

He becomes journalist no 165 to be targeted and killed by Israel since 7 October, 2023

The Israeli army has killed 39,363 since last 7 October, the Gaza Health Ministry in the enclave said on Monday.

A ministry statement added that some 90,923 other people have been injured as well with over 11,000 still under the rubble.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) sounded the alarm on Saturday over a rapidly escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.

“All basic supplies are running out in Gaza. It means babies, children are going to bed hungry,” Juliette Touma, the agency’s director of communications, said in a statement.

“Six weeks into the Israeli-imposed siege blocking the entry of aid and commercial supplies, food stocks are nearly gone, bakeries closed, and hunger is spreading,” the agency also noted.

The UNRWA emphasized that “immediate action is needed to prevent a deepening humanitarian crisis.”

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

More than 50,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
