The Israeli genocide led to the killing of at least 38 more Palestinians in Gaza in the past 24 hours, including five journalists.
The Gaza Ministry of Health said on Thursday that the total death toll in the Palestinian enclave since October last year reached 45,399, while more than 107,000 were injured.
On Thursday morning, Israel bombed a broadcast truck parked near Al Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing five journalists from Al Quds Today, Al Jazeera’s Anas Al Sharif reported.
The journalists are Fadi Hassouna, Ibrahim Al-Sheikh Ali, Muhammad Al-Ledda, Faisal Abu Al-Qumsan, and Ayman Al-Jadi.
Al-Sharif from Al-Jazeera said that the grandfather was waiting for his wife in front of the hospital during labor to give birth to their first child.
Quds News Network said that civil defense teams recovered the bodies of the victims and extinguished a fire at the scene.
The Israeli army claimed that it carried out the “targeted” attack on a media vehicle carrying members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, and that it would continue to take action against “terrorist organizations” in Gaza. She did not provide any evidence to support her claim.
Several press freedom organizations have condemned Israel, which has only allowed foreign journalists into Gaza on military aircraft, and which now ranks the blockaded enclave as the most dangerous part of the world for reporting.
