In a statement, the Palestinian Journalists Forum described the bombing as a “heinous crime and a deliberate targeting of journalists that violated all international laws and conventions.”

This latest attack comes less than 48 hours after another Israeli airstrike killed journalist Islam Nasreddin Maqdad and her child in their home west of Khan Younis.

Since launching its war on Gaza in October 2023, Israel has killed 210 Palestinian journalists.

The Israeli military has faced repeated accusations of deliberately targeting Palestinian journalists in what rights groups describe as an attempt to suppress coverage and restrict the flow of information to the international community.

On March 18, despite a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in place since January, Israel launched a surprise aerial offensive, killing at least 730 people and injuring nearly 1,200.

Since October 2023, more than 50,000 Palestinians — the majority women and children — have been killed, with over 113,200 injured in the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza.
