GAZA CITY. An Israeli airstrike hit a media tent outside one of Gaza’s largest hospitals overnight, killing a local journalist and at least one other person, and wounding nine others, including six journalists, according to Palestinian medical officials.
The attack occurred near the Al-Shifa and Nasser hospitals, which have become central shelters for thousands of displaced Palestinians amid ongoing bombardment and military operations.
The slain journalist, who was not immediately named, was reporting from the scene when the strike occurred. Palestinian medics said the strike targeted temporary tents where journalists had been staying to cover the escalating violence.
The incident was part of a wider string of Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip overnight that reportedly killed over 30 people, most of them women and children, according to hospital officials.
Israel resumed full-scale military operations in Gaza in March, ending a temporary ceasefire with Hamas. Since then, Israel has halted all food, fuel, and humanitarian aid from entering the territory. Human rights organizations have condemned the blockade, calling it a potential war crime under international law.
Israel has also issued successive displacement orders, forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee under the threat of renewed bombardment and ground raids.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israel’s 18-month military campaign has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians, a majority of them women and children.
Israel maintains that the war will continue until Hamas surrenders its remaining hostages, disarms, and withdraws from Gaza.
