Another journalist has died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike that killed five Al Jazeera correspondents in Gaza on Sunday, local authorities said, bringing the death toll to 238.
According to the Gaza government, Mohammed Al-Khalidi, a Palestinian journalist who worked for the Sahat news outlet, died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike overnight. Al-Khalidi’s death brings the number of journalists killed in Gaza on Sunday to six, and the total number of Palestinian journalists killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip to 238, the Gaza media office said in a statement.
The Israeli army targeted a journalists’ tent near Al-Shifa hospital in western Gaza late Sunday, killing five journalists, including Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohamed Qraiqea, the statement said. The Gaza government condemned the systematic Israeli killing of Palestinian journalists in Gaza and called on human rights organizations and media institutions to “condemn these systematic crimes against journalists in Gaza.”
