In the town of Al-Qarara, east of Khan Yunis, the body of journalist Abdul Rahman Tawfiq Al-Abadlah was found two days after contact with him was lost. He was killed in a shelling that targeted the area.
Journalist Aziz al-Hajjar was killed along with his wife and children in an airstrike that targeted their home in Bir al-Na'ja in the northern Gaza Strip.
In Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, journalist Nour Qandil, her husband, journalist Khaled Abu Seif, and their daughter were killed when their home was bombed.
Journalist Ahmed Al-Zinati, his wife Nour Al-Madhoun, and their two children, Mohammed and Khaled, were also killed in a shelling that targeted their tent in Sanabel camp, near the Kuwaiti field hospital west of Khan Yunis.
This brings the number of journalists killed since the start of the war on Gaza to 222, in one of the largest waves of attacks on Palestinian media, amid continued international silence regarding these massacres.
Over the past five days, Israel has intensified its genocidal campaign in the Gaza Strip, committing dozens of horrific massacres. This coincided with US President Donald Trump's tour of the region, during which he promised Gaza's Palestinians "a better future and an end to hunger."
With full American support, Israel has been committing genocidal crimes in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving approximately 174,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
Israel has been blockading Gaza for 18 years, leaving approximately 1.5 million Palestinians out of a population of 2.4 million homeless after their homes were destroyed in the war of extermination. The Strip is suffering from a severe famine due to Tel Aviv's closure of the crossings to humanitarian aid.
