Palestinian journalist killed in Israeli strike

Published on April 07, 2025 at 10:12 AM

An Israeli airstrike hit a tent used by local media in southern Gaza on Monday morning, killing a Palestinian journalist while nine others were wounded.

DAILY POST reports that footage showed people trying to douse flames from a fire in the tent, inside the compound of the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, in the early hours of Monday.

Other footage posted on social media appeared to show that the tent had been burned to the ground, along with the furniture and equipment inside it.

At the time of filing this report, Israeli authorities did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Gaza medics said a second Palestinian was also killed in the attack, adding that dozens of journalists and relatives later took part in the funeral of the dead journalist, Helmy al-Faqawi.

Colleagues carried his white-shrouded body on a medical stretcher with his blue flak jacket placed on top.

“We will continue to deliver the message and convey the truth to the whole world. This is our humanitarian duty,” said fellow journalist Abd Shaath, who added that they were woken by the strike to find the nearby tent of their colleagues on fire.

According to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, Faqawi's death raised the number of journalists killed by Israel's campaign in Gaza to more than 210 since October 2023.

In total, local health authorities said Israeli military strikes had killed no fewer than 10 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Monday.

DAILY POST reports that Israel began its offensive after thousands of Hamas-led gunmen attacked communities in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and abducting 251 as hostages.
