Gaza Bleeds: Israel Kills Another Palestinian Journalist
(MENAFN) Another Palestinian journalist was killed in Gaza on Monday amid ongoing Israeli military strikes, raising the death toll since October 2023 to 246, local officials confirmed.
Hassan Douhan, a reporter for the Palestinian daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, died in an Israeli attack in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the Gaza Government Media Office reported.
The media office stated the latest fatality pushes the number of Palestinian journalists killed by Israeli fire since October 2023 to 246.
Earlier the same day, an Israeli strike targeted the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, killing at least 20 people, including five journalists.
The media office condemned “Israel’s systematic assassination of Palestinian reporters in Gaza” and urged human rights and media organizations to “condemn these systematic crimes against Gaza journalists.”
Since October 2023, Israeli forces have killed over 62,700 Palestinians in Gaza, leaving the territory devastated and on the brink of famine.
In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, charging them with war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Additionally, Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice related to its military operations in the enclave.
