Two Palestinian journalists killed in less than 24 hours as Israeli strikes intensify in Gaza
LONDON: Two Palestinian journalists were killed in separate Israeli airstrikes on Sunday, in the latest deadly escalation targeting media workers in the Gaza Strip, according to local sources. Fadi Khalifa was killed along with at least one other person while inspecting the remains of his home in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood of southeastern Gaza City, multiple sources reported. In a separate strike, photojournalist Hussam Saleh Al-Adlouni was killed alongside his wife Suad and their three children when an Israeli airstrike hit their tent in the Al-Qarara area, north of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza. According to WAFA news agency, the family had been sheltering there after being displaced. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate condemned the killings, saying they added to Israel's 'abysmal record' of violence against members of the press. Their deaths bring the number of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, to 231, according to official figures. The Committee to Protect Journalists puts the toll at 178: 176 Palestinians and two Israelis. Medical sources reported that at least 92 civilians were killed across Gaza on Sunday alone, including 52 in central and southern areas of the Strip.
