A journalist and his wife have been killed in the latest Israeli strikes on Gaza, according to local authorities.

Mohammed al-Munirawi was among more than 100 people who died in the recent wave of attacks. The couple had been sheltering in a tent in the Nuseirat area of central Gaza when their location was struck.

The Government Media Office in Gaza says 256 journalists have now been killed since the start of Israel’s military campaign in October 2023. Officials in Gaza accuse Israel of deliberately targeting media workers to silence coverage of the destruction and human rights abuses across the enclave.

Witnesses say that in nearly every new round of bombardment, Palestinian journalists continue to be among the victims, despite calls for their protection under international law.
