Another Palestinian journalist martyred in Israeli strike in Gaza as death toll rises to 175 since last year

Another Palestinian journalist was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the northern Gaza Strip, bringing the total death toll since last Oct. 7 to 175, the government media office said on Sunday.

AhlulBayt News Agency: Another Palestinian journalist was martyred in an Israeli airstrike in the northern Gaza Strip, bringing the total death toll since last Oct. 7 to 175, the government media office said on Sunday.

In a statement, the media office identified the new victim as Hassan Hamad, without giving details about the circumstances of his death.

“We condemn in the strongest terms the targeting, killing, and assassination of Palestinian journalists by the Israeli occupation,” it said, calling on the international community and international organizations to “deter the occupation and prosecute it in international courts for its ongoing crimes.”

Nearly 41,900 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 97,100 others injured, according to local health authorities.

The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.

Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
