According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, Mohammed Al-Khalidi, a Palestinian journalist working for the Sahat news outlet, died of his injuries sustained in last night’s Israeli strike.
The death of Khalidi brought the number of journalists killed in Gaza City on Sunday to six and the overall death toll of Palestinian journalists killed by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip to 238, the media office said in a statement.
The Israeli army targeted a journalists’ tent near the Al-Shifa Hospital in western Gaza City on late Sunday, killing five journalists, including Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohamed Qraiqea, according to the media office.
The Gaza government condemned “Israel’s systematic assassination of Palestinian reporters in Gaza” and called on human rights and media institutions to “condemn these systematic crimes against Gaza journalists.”
