According to the sources, the strikes were carried out early Sunday morning and targeted homes and tents of displaced people in various areas across Gaza, killing five journalists, including a female reporter.
The martyred journalists were identified as:
-
Abdul Rahman Al-Abadleh
-
Khaled Abu Seif
-
Aziz Al-Hajjar
-
Ahmad Al-Zaynaty
-

The Palestinian Media Center reported: “Journalist Noor Qandil, her husband, and their daughter were killed in an Israeli strike on their home in the Bashara neighborhood of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.”
Family sources confirmed that journalist Abdul Rahman Tawfiq Al-Abadleh was martyred following an Israeli strike on the town of Al-Qarara, northeast of Khan Younis.
According to the Center, Aziz Al-Hajjar was killed along with his wife and children in a strike that hit their home in Be’er Al-Na’ja, north of Gaza.
These attacks further underscore the dangers faced by Palestinian media workers and civilians alike, as Israel continues its large-scale military assault on Gaza.
