Number of journalists killed in Israeli war on Gaza rises to 48

Another Palestinian journalist has been killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza as the Tel Aviv regime’s aggression on the besieged strip has entered its 32nd day.

Palestinian sources said on Tuesday that Yehya Abu Manie was killed in an Israeli bombardment of Gaza City, bringing to 48 the number of journalists killed since the start of the Israeli aggression last month.

Israeli warplanes also bombed the area surrounding the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza on Tuesday morning, while an Israeli drone fired a missile at the municipality building.

The government media office in Gaza said Israel conducted more than 250 fatal airstrikes on Gaza on Monday night and in the early hours of Tuesday.

Several airstrikes targeted residential buildings in the southern city of Khan Yunis, killing at least 27 people and injuring dozens of others.

Seven Palestinians were killed in an attack on a residential building in the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, while 27 were killed in attacks on houses in Rafah.

An unspecified number of casualties was also reported in an Israeli strike on Kamal Adwan Hospital in the city of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have repeatedly targeted hospitals, residential buildings, mosques, and churches. Under the Geneva Convention, attacks on hospitals are strictly prohibited.

On October 17, hundreds of civilians were killed and injured by Israeli airstrikes on al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City. The attack has been condemned as an act of genocide by many governments around the world.

Several hospitals in Gaza City have become refuges for Palestinians hoping to be spared from Israeli bombardments, which began early in October.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has urged the United Nations secretary-general to form an international committee to visit hospitals in the besieged strip to counter Israel’s “false” claims that they are used as launch pad for anti-Israel operations.

Hamas noted that the claims are aimed to “justify” Israel’s attacks on hospitals in Gaza.

Israel waged the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime’s decades-long crimes against Palestinians.

Tel Aviv has also blocked water, food, and electricity to Gaza, plunging the coastal strip into a humanitarian crisis.

The regime has further ordered 1.1 million people in the north of Gaza to evacuate and move south of the coastal sliver.

However, it has continued to rain down bombs on the south.

According to the Gaza-based health ministry, at least 10,022 Palestinians have been killed in the strikes, 70 percent of whom are women and children.
