Palestinian Journalist Killed by Israeli Sniper While on Duty in Central Gaza

Gaza (Quds News Network)- Palestinian journalist Sa’ed al-Nabhan was shot and killed by an Israeli sniper while covering Israeli attacks in central Gaza on Friday, making him the 203rd Palestinian journalist to be killed in Israeli assaults since the start of the ongoing genocide.

Gaza’s Government Media Office confirmed Sa’ed’s killing, stating that he is the 203rd Palestinian journalist killed in Israeli attacks since the start of the ongoing Israeli offensive.

The office also condemned Israel’s killings of journalists, calling on the international community and rights groups to condemn Israeli crimes and prosecute them in international courts.

What Happened?

The Israeli forces first surrounded an area in the Al-Jadeed Refugee Camp, located in al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, where many journalists were present, before targeting those in the area.

Footage from the scene shows a wounded individual being rushed out of a house on a stretcher with the help of aid workers.

Nearby, Sa’ed is seen trying to run while covering the attack with his equipment. At that moment, he is targeted by what appears to be a shot fired from a long-range rifle.

He then falls to the ground and lies motionless. People nearby struggle fearfully to approach him due to the threat of being targeted by Israeli bullets.

Anadolu Agency recognized him as its freelance cameraman.

Last month, Sa’ed performed the funeral prayer for his uncle, Khaled al-Nabhan, the Palestinian man who became widely known after a video showed him kissing the eyes of his slain granddaughter and calling her “soul of my soul”.
