GAZA, Aug. 20 (YPA) – The Palestinian journalist Ibrahim Muhareb was killed after the Israeli occupation forces  targeted a group of journalists in Hamad City, north of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian media reported on Monday.

According to media sources, Muhareb was directly shot on Sunday by the occupation forces while covering the Israeli incursion into Hamad City. He was missing while trying to take shelter from occupation heavy gunfire during the incursion.

Meanwhile, medical sources reported that the Palestinian journalist Salma Al-Qadoumi was wounded in the Khan Yunis military operation, which was expanded to Hamad City, hundreds of meters away from the claimed “safe zone”.

The martyrdom of journalist Muhareb brings the number of Palestinian journalists who have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the Israeli genocide war on Gaza to 169 journalists.
