GAZA, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed a Palestinian journalist in the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday, Palestinian sources said.
Medical sources told Xinhua that Khaled al-Madhoun, a cameraman for the official Palestinian TV channel in the Gaza Strip, was shot dead by the IDF.
Eyewitnesses said H. al-Madhoun was killed while working in an area west of the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Lahiya.
The Palestinian Union of Journalists said that “attacks on journalists are crimes aimed at concealing the truth, but they will not break the resolve of Palestinian media heroes who continue to carry out their mission despite all the risks.”
The death of H. al-Madhoun brings the number of Palestinian journalists killed in the Gaza Strip since the war began on October 7, 2023, to 240, the union said.
The IDF has not commented on the incident.
Let us recall that Israel has been waging a full-scale war in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, following an unprecedented Hamas attack on southern Israel, which, according to Israeli authorities, resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people and the taking of 251 hostages.
More than 62,100 Palestinians have died in the war, according to authorities in the Gaza Strip. –0–
