Gaza: The Israeli occupation's war machine killed five Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip, bringing the total of news personnel covering the genocidal war to 237, said a media source on Monday.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the Gaza media office stated in a press release that Al-Jazeera network correspondent Anas Al-Sharif and his colleagues were targeted by the Israeli occupation military while residing in their tent near Al-Shifa hospital. The assault resulted in the injury of several other journalists, it added.
