Israeli Snipers Shoot Journalist Salma Al Qadoumi

Journalist Salma Al Qadoumi is just the latest to be shot in the back by Israeli gunfire in the Gaza Strip.

The incident is trending on the social media. The shooting occurred near Al Hamad City, north west Khan Yunis, Sunday.

 Videoclips show her taken from the ambulance on a stretcher and inside the Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Dier Al Balah in west central Gaza.

Nurses, doctors and people are shown around the wounded journalist.

The journalist appears to be awake but anxious, worried and in pain. 

She was part of a group of journalist that gathered around the Hamad City covering displaced people

One video captured by a Palestinian media worker shows an Israeli tank accelerating towards a group of Palestinian journalists in Khan Yunis, shooting directly at them as they were running. It was this attack that injured journalist Salma al-Qadoumi in the back.

Since 7 October 2023 168 journalists have been killed covering the Israeli onslaught on Gaza.

The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists say this is the bloodiest and most violent war against journalists since the CPJ begun reporting in 1992.
