Palestinian Journalist and His Wife Killed in Israeli Attack on Tent in Gaza’s Nuseirat Camp
Gaza (Quds News Network)- A Palestinian journalist and his wife were killed in an overnight Israeli attack that targeted their tent in al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza. This brings the total number of journalists killed in Israeli attacks during the Gaza genocide to 189.
Journalist Mohammed Khreis and his wife had set a tent up seeking protection from the Israeli attacks after their home in the Nuseirat camp was destroyed a few months ago.

The northern area of the Nuseirat camp has been under relentless Israeli attacks, and people there are exposed to daily terror, from the heavy machine guns, the quadcopters and the drones that are hovering at a very low level, as local sources reported.
According to the Government Media Office, 189 Palestinian journalists have been killed since the beginning of the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.
The Office condemned “the targeting, killing, and assassination of Palestinian journalists by the Israeli occupation,” holding it “fully responsible for committing this heinous crime and calling on the international community and those involved in global journalism to deter the occupation and pursue it in international courts for its ongoing crimes.”
“We urge pressure to be applied to stop the genocide and the killing and assassination of Palestinian journalists.”
Israel’s war on Gaza has been considered the deadliest for journalists and media workers in the world in 30 years.
The International Federation of Journalists said the mortality rate for media workers in Gaza is over 10 percent.
Seventy-five percent of all reporters killed in the world in 2023 were killed between October 7 and the end of last year.
Critics accuse Israel – which banned foreign reporters from entering Gaza – of targeting journalists in the Palestinian territory to obscure the truth about its war crimes there.
“Deliberately targeting journalists is a war crime under international law. This attack must be independently investigated and the perpetrators must be held to account,” Programme Director at Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Carlos Martinez de la, said.
