The health ministry in the Gaza Strip has said that 178 Palestinians have been killed and 589 injured in strikes on the besieged enclave since a week-long truce expired and the Israeli military offensive resumed, Reuters reports.
Gaza’s government has said three journalists have been killed in Israeli raids as fierce fighting has resumed after a week-long truce, AFP reports.
The government press office identified the three as cameraman Muntassir al-Sawwaf, who worked for Turkey’s Anadolu state news agency, his brother Marwan, who worked as a soundman, and cameraman Abdullah Darwish. It said their deaths brought to 73 the number of journalists killed since the Israeli offensive began on October 7.
The Turkish agency confirmed the death of Sawwaf and two others whom it did not name in southern Gaza.
“We are concerned about the lives of our colleagues, who fulfil their duties with great devotion under very difficult conditions,” Anadolu general director Serdar Karagoz said.
