GAZA, June 5, 2025 (WAFA) –  Four Palestinian journalists were killed and a fifth critically wounded on Thursday after an Israeli drone strike targeted the courtyard of the Baptist Hospital in central Gaza City, according to local sources.

The strike claimed the lives of journalists Ismail Bdaih, Suleiman Hajjaj, and Samir Al-Rifai, who were on assignment near the hospital entrance, an area known to be frequented by media personnel. Journalist Imad Daloul sustained life-threatening injuries and was rushed into intensive care.

The strike on a medical facility's premises has further raised alarm among humanitarian organizations operating in the besieged territory.
