GAZA, March 24, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli bombardment Monday killed Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent Hussam Shabat in the northern Gaza Strip, according to WAFA correspondent.
He said that Al Jazeera Mubasher journalist and contributor, Shabat, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on his car in Salah ad-Din Street in the northern Strip while he was covering events.
He added that the same airstrike also resulted in the killing of four civilians and injuring others.
This follows the killing of Mohammad Mansour, a reporter for Palestine Today TV, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a house in the Al-Batin Al-Sameen area, south of Khan Younis earlier on Monday.
Local sources said that Israeli occupation forces continued a wave of deadly airstrikes in all parts of the Strip, resulting in a number of fatalities, including Shabat, and casualties.
Since its onset in October 2023, the Israeli genocidal aggression on Gaza killed over 206 journalists and media personnel across the Strip.
Israel unilaterally ended the Gaza ceasefire agreement and resumed its aggression on the Strip on Tuesday, March 18, carrying out a wave of bloody airstrikes across the Strip and killing hundreds of Palestinians, including over 100 children.
The death toll reached 506 with 909 others wounded, according to medical sources. Emergency teams are attempting to recover victims still trapped beneath the rubble.
The aggression was resumed amidst concerns over the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Strip given the ongoing siege and ban on the entry of medical and humanitarian aid.
Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since October 2023, killing 50,082 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 113,408 others.
Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
