Four Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli Gaza strikes — media unions

Four Palestinian journalists were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City today, media unions and officials say.

The latest deaths bring the number of Palestinian journalists killed in the fighting since Saturday to eight, the Palestinian Press Union says in a statement.

Another union, the Gaza journalists’ syndicate, announced earlier “the martyrdom of three journalists in the Gaza Strip in the ongoing Israeli aggression.”

The chief of Gaza’s Hamas-run government media office, Salameh Maarouf, identifies the three as Said al-Taweel, director of Al-Khamisa news agency; press photographer Mohammed Sobboh, and Hisham Nawajhah, a correspondent for a Gaza news agency.
