AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The government media office in the Gaza Strip says another Palestinian journalist has been killed in the besieged coastal sliver, pushing the journalists’ death toll to 153 since the Tel Aviv regime unleashed its military raids, bombardments and missile attacks last October.
Muhammad Abu Sharia, head of the editorial department at Shams News Agency, succumbed to his wounds on Monday morning after he was seriously injured in an Israeli bombing that targeted his house in the Sabra neighborhood south of Gaza City two days earlier.
Abu Sharia was initially taken to the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in central Gaza City, before he was shifted to the Indonesian Hospital due to the seriousness of his injuries.
Journalists operating in the Palestinian territory are faced with increased dangers as they report on the conflict amidst Israeli ground assaults and airstrikes, disrupted communications, supply shortages, and power outages.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after Palestinian resistance groups carried out a surprise retaliatory operation into the occupied territories.
Concomitantly with the war, the regime has been enforcing a near-total siege on the coastal territory, which has reduced the flow of foodstuffs, medicine, electricity, and water into the Palestinian territory into a trickle.
So far during the military onslaught, the regime has killed at least 37,900 Gazans, most of them women, children, and adolescents. Another 87,060 Palestinians have sustained injuries as well.
