GAZA, November 16, 2024 (WAFA) – A Palestinian journalist was killed today after being shot dead by an Israeli drone in the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, according to local sources.
The sources reported that Israeli forces launched gunfire from a quadcopter drone towards journalist Mohammed Saleh Al-Sharif, resulting in his murder. Al-Sharif, who had recently been forced to evacuate his home in the Tel Al-Zaatar area of east Jabalia due to the ongoing Israeli bombardment, had sought refuge with a relative in nearby Beit Lahia.
A few days later, Al-Sharif and his cousin returned to their home to assess the damage, but as they approached, an Israeli drone targeted them. His cousin was killed instantly, and Al-Sharif was left wounded, bleeding for more than two hours before succumbing to his injuries.
It is also important to note that Israeli forces have been preventing civil defense and emergency medical teams from operating in northern Gaza for over 25 days, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
According to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, 174 journalists have been killed in Gaza since the start of Israel's war of genocide on the Strip on October 7, 2023.
