Israel strikes journalists’ tent in Gaza, killing 2 and injuring 8
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) denounced Israel’s targeted airstrike that hit a media tent in southern Gaza on Monday, killing two journalists and injuring eight others, and called on the international community to act to stop Israel killing Palestinian journalists.
The airstrike on the tent housing journalists in the grounds of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis killed Hilmi al-Faqaawi, a social media manager for pro-Palestinian Islamic Jihad broadcaster Palestine Today TV. Ahmed Mansour, a Palestine Today news agency editor, died that night after sustaining severe burns.
“This is not the first time Israel has targeted a tent sheltering journalists in Gaza. The international community’s failure to act has allowed these attacks on the press to continue with impunity, undermining efforts to hold perpetrators accountable,” said CPJ Middle East and North Africa Regional Director Sara Qudah. “CPJ calls on authorities to allow the injured, some of whom have sustained severe burns, to be evacuated immediately for treatment and to stop attacking Gaza’s already devastated press corps.”
Since October 7, 2023, more than 175 journalists and media workers have been killed in the Israel-Gaza war.
