Israel bombed a journalists’ tent in Gaza, burning journalists alive, killing three and critically injuring at least eight others.
Israel targeted the tent sheltering journalists on Monday, April 7, around 2 am near Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, igniting a fire that burned the journalists and instantly killed two people, Yousef al-Khazindar and journalist Helmi al-Faqawi, according to Wafa news.
Videos shared on social media by other journalists at the scene showed one of the journalists, Ahmed Mansour, on fire.
Mansour was admitted to the hospital but later died of severe burns on Tuesday, April 8.
The attack injured eight other journalists: Hassan Eslaih, Ahmed al-Agha, Mohammed Fayeq, Abdullah al-Attar, Ihab al-Bardini, Mahmoud Awad, Majed Qudaih, and Ali Eslaih, some critically.
Israeli forces said it was targeting Hassan Eslaih, claiming he is a member of Hamas and that it will “continue to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel.”
Israel has now killed at least 211 journalists in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, according to Gaza’s media office.
