Israeli strike kills journalist and family in Gaza

Middle East Eye5 days ago
Medical officials say at least nine Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air raids targeting the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood, southwest of Gaza City, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
Among the dead is Palestinian journalist Walaa al-Jaabari, who was killed alongside her husband, Amjad al-Shaer, and their five children when Israeli forces bombed the family's home.
Reports say the intensity of the strike reportedly forced the unborn child from her womb.
The last message al-Jaabari posted on Facebook read: 'I am not afraid of dying of hunger. I am afraid of heartbreak if this crazy war does not stop.'
Her death brings the number of journalists killed in Gaza this year to 34, according to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate. In its mid-year report, the group documented the killing of 41 relatives of journalists, the destruction of 32 of their homes, and injuries to 66 media workers – mostly from shrapnel and live fire.
