2 more Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza, tally reaches 89
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – Two more Palestinian journalists were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, taking the death toll to 89 since Oct. 7, the government media office said.
A statement by the media office said Ahmed Abu Absa and Hanan Ayyad lost their lives in Israeli bombardment.
It, however, did not provide any details about the circumstances leading to the death of the two journalists.
On Tuesday, the media office accused the Israeli army of “deliberately assassinating” Palestinian journalists in an attempt to obscure the truth.
Israel has bombarded the Gaza Strip from the air and land, imposed a siege and mounted a ground offensive in retaliation for an attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.
At least 18,608 Palestinians have been killed and 50,594 injured in the Israeli onslaught since then, according to Gaza’s health authorities.
The Israeli death toll in the Hamas attack stood at 1,200, while around 139 hostages remained in captivity, according to official figures.
