Israeli Strike on Media Tent Inside Gaza Hospital Kills Three Journalists, Injures Others
Gaza (Quds News Network)- An Israeli strike targeting a press tent at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City killed at least three journalists and injured several others on Thursday.
The journalists are Ismail Badah and Sulaiman Haja, both of whom worked for the Palestine Today channel. The third is Samir Al-Rifai, who was with the Shams News Agency.
Pieces of flesh were left scattered on what once was a manicured garden at the medical facility, local sources said.
Two more journalists, Ahmed Qalja, a photojournalist for Al-Araby TV, and Emad Daloul, a correspondent for Palestine Today, were reported with serious injuries.
This is the eighth time the hospital has been hit, the director of the Baptist Hospital said.
The head of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate told Al-Araby TV that the Israeli occupation committed a massacre against journalists at the Baptist Hospital, adding the Gaza Strip is “witnessing the largest massacre of journalists in history.”
