Israeli forces killed two Palestinian journalists in Gaza, topping the number of media workers who were killed by Israel to 168.
The first was Palestinian TV journalist Tamim Ma’mmar. He was killed after Israeli forces bombarded his house in Khan Yunis, Friday, killing him and his family instantly.
Their killings are trending on the social media with images.
In a separate air strike Israeli forces targeted the home of Al-Aqsa TV journalist Abdullah Al-Sousi, massacring him and his family.
The Israeli army carried out airstrikes on Khan Yunis, killing Tamim Muammar along with his wife Islam Fayez and two children Mais and Salam. The Israeli strikes also killed Abdullah Sousi along with two of his nephews according to the Quds News Network.
Last week, the government media office announced the death of Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail Al-Ghoul and its cameraman Rami Al-Rifi in an Israeli airstrike that targeted their car in Gaza City.
Despite repeated warnings from Palestinian and international organizations, Israel has continued targeting press teams in Gaza, even those clearly identified with press vests and helmets. This defiance of international warnings has drawn widespread condemnation.
These attacks underscore Israel’s deliberate targeting of Palestinian journalists in Gaza. The number of journalists killed in Gaza is much more than the number those killed during the whole of World War II between 1939 and 1945.
