Nurit Yohanan is The Times of Israel's Palestinian and Arab world correspondent
Gaza media reports that Hossam Shabat, an Al Jazeera channel reporter in northern Gaza, was killed in an Israeli airstrike while he was in his car.
A short time before that, Gaza media reported that Mohamad Mansor, a reporter in Falstin Al-Yom channel of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad was also killed in a strike.
Last October, the IDF said it had uncovered documents in the Gaza Strip that showed that Shabat is a sniper in Hamas’s Beit Hanoun Battalion.
There is no official comment from the IDF at this time.
