Israeli strike kills 5 Palestinian journalists in Gaza, officials say

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli strike killed five Palestinian journalists outside a hospital in the Gaza Strip overnight, the Health Ministry said early Thursday. The Israeli military said it had targeted a group of militants.

The strike hit a car outside the Al-Awda Hospital in the built-up Nuseirat refugee camp in the central part of the territory. The journalists were working for the local Quds News Network.

The military said it targeted a group of fighters from Islamic Jihad, a militant group allied with Hamas, whose Oct. 7, 2023 attack into southern Israel ignited the war. Associated Press footage showed the incinerated shell of a van, with press markings still visible on the back doors.

Several young men attended the funeral outside the hospital, many of them sobbing. The bodies were all wrapped in white shrouds, with blue press vests draped over them.

The Committee to Protect Journalists says over 130 Palestinian reporters have been killed since the start of the war. Israel has not allowed foreign reporters to enter Gaza except on military embeds.

I believe this because Palestinian “journalists “are card-carrying terrorists. Their terrorists also work in the baby milk plant and dress up like women. So basically if you drone one, you’ve killed a journalist mother-of-three who worked part-time down at the baby milk plant. Boo-hoo.

“The journalists were working for the local Quds News Network.”

“Quds” - Iran’s terrorist group.

I remember the live report they did from the baby milk factory, the reporter actually put his finger in the power and tasted it.

Liquidating 5 “journalists” is a good start.

There are more of these types that need to be removed from the earth, looking at you MSNBC. /spit

The only thing better would be if there were 10 “journalists” killed.

It’s a good start but why limit it to Palestinian Journalists?

---- "The Committee to Protect Journalists says over 130 Palestinian reporters have been killed since the start of the war. Israel has not allowed foreign reporters to enter Gaza except on military embeds."

Given that the Israeli and Ukrainian "conflicts" -- choose any term one wishes -- how is it that in the time frame as mentioned so many Palestinian "journalists" are reported killed, compared to the number of Israeli, Ukrainian, Russian and other "journalists?"

Example: 28 journalists killed (motive confirmed)
0 journalists imprisoned (annual census)
1 journalists missing

Ukraine / Europe & Central Asia Committee to Protect Journalists

130 in a short period compared to 28 over a far longer period. The NYC advocacy group must be getting its "data" from --- hmm....

Very professional sign... BTW - You can’t make ‘baby milk’... You can make formula... But they don’t call that ‘baby milk’, real baby milk comes from a woman... No trannies allowed.

That would be *hamas terrorists posing as "journalists"*.

Wouldn't be the first time it was known to happen.

They’re all journalists or doctors once they’re dead. That seems to be the only kind of Palestinians the Israelis ever manage to kill.

Call me a cynic.

“five Palestinian journalists”

Were they carrying type writers or AK47s?

It is astonishing how many stupid Western people believe the nonsense about “Gaza journalists.” They are all Hamas, used as spotters, messengers and sometimes human shields themselves, depending on need.
