Israeli strike kills five Palestinian journalists in Gaza Strip
The Israeli military said all five were militants posing as reporters.
An Israeli strike has killed five Palestinian journalists outside a hospital in the Gaza Strip, the Health Ministry said.
The strike hit a car outside the Al-Awda Hospital in the built-up Nuseirat refugee camp in the central part of the territory. The journalists were working for the local news outlet Al-Quds Today, a television channel affiliated with the Islamic Jihad militant group.
The Israeli military said all five were militants posing as reporters.
Islamic Jihad is a smaller and more extreme ally of Hamas, and took part in its attack into southern Israel on October 7 2023, which ignited the war.
The Israeli military identified four of the men as combat propagandists and said that intelligence, including a list of Islamic Jihad operatives found by soldiers in Gaza, had confirmed that all five were affiliated with the group.
