AhlulBayt News Agency: At least 23 Palestinians have been killed in separate Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip. Among the victims were a journalist and a senior rescue service official, as the occupying regime continues its brutal war on the besieged enclave.
Local journalist Hassan Majdi Abu Warda and several members of his family lost their lives after Israeli forces bombed his house in the Jabalia al-Nazla neighborhood in northern Gaza early on Sunday, according to Gaza health officials.
Officials also reported that Ashraf Abu Nar, a senior official in Gaza’s civil emergency service, and his wife were killed when an Israeli airstrike hit their home in Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Additional casualties were recorded in Khan Yunis, as Israeli military operations targeted the area.
Meanwhile, Gaza’s government media office stated that the number of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza has risen to 220 since the beginning of the war, following the death of Abu Warda, director of Barq Gaza news agency.
The media office condemned the systematic targeting and assassination of Palestinian journalists by the Israeli regime. It held Israel, the US administration, and states complicit in genocide—such as the UK, Germany, and France—fully responsible for these crimes.
The office urged the international community and media organizations worldwide to condemn Israel’s ongoing crimes in Gaza and bring Israeli war criminals to justice.
It also called for pressure to halt the genocide, protect journalists and media workers, and end their systematic assassination.
Journalists in Gaza face increased dangers as they report on the war amid Israeli ground assaults, airstrikes, disrupted communications, supply shortages, and power outages.
Israel launched its genocidal campaign in Gaza on October 7, 2023. Since then, at least 54,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
Israeli forces have also maintained a complete blockade on Gaza, shutting all border crossings and severely restricting the entry of humanitarian aid, fuel, and food.
