Journalist dies in Gaza in Israeli airstrike

• Mohamed Abd Rabbo was killed along with his sister Sumaya in an attack in Nuseirat camp

LONDON: Palestinian journalist Mohamed Abd Rabbo was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Wednesday in the Nuseirat camp, located in central Gaza.

His sister, Sumaya, was also killed in the attack.

Abd Rabbo, who worked for Al-Manara Media Co., is the latest victim in a growing list of Palestinian journalists killed since the start of the Israeli offensive on Gaza.

According to Gaza authorities, his death brings the total number of journalists killed during the conflict to 172, though the exact figure remains difficult to verify.

The Government Media Office in Gaza condemned Abd Rabbo’s death, describing the targeting of Palestinian journalists by Israeli forces as “systematic.”

The office called on the international community to intervene and put an end to what it has labeled as war crimes and genocide.
