Journalists exposing the truth are routinely subjected to risk of death.
Al-Quds Today staff were targeted outside a hospital, as number of media workers killed by Israeli forces exceeds 200
An Israeli air strike killed five Palestinian journalists in a clearly marked vehicle outside a hospital in central Gaza, according to Palestinian authorities and multiple media reports.
The journalists from Al-Quds Today were outside al-Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp when their van was struck by an Israeli strike on Thursday morning.
Images from the scene show a white-coloured van with the word “press” clearly written in large red letters, engulfed in flames.
“The van was entirely burnt and destroyed. It was fully engulfed in flames,” Middle East Eye’s reporter Hani Aburezeq said from the scene.
