ALBAWABA - An Israeli airstrike has resulted in the killing of Palestinian journalist Dr. Rizk Al-Gharabli, pushing the death toll of journalists killed in Gaza since October 7 to 123, the Gaza Media Office said in a statement.
In a previous statement, the media office said Israel has intentionally killed journalists in Gaza intending to silence the Palestinian narrative, concealing the truth and preventing news from reaching regional and international public opinion.
Dr. Gharabli was the director of the Palestinian Media Center in the Gaza Strip, and was targeted in Israeli airstrikes on the city of Khan Younis, the statement added.
Al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel
Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.
Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip and captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.
In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
The latest statistics by the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed that the death toll from Israeli brutal pounding on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has soared to 27,585 people, with more than 66,978 injuries.
Since then, approximately 85% of Gazans have been displaced, all of whom are suffering from severe food insecurity, and the healthcare system has collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of people lack shelter, and aid trucks are entering the area at a lower rate than before the conflict began.
