 Israeli strike kills three journalists in Gaza

 An Israeli air strike on Wednesday killed three journalists in Gaza, including an AFP freelancer, the territory’s civil defense agency reported. The Israeli military said the strike targeted “suspects” operating a drone.

The civil defense said the journalists—Mohammed Salah Qashta, Abdul Raouf Shaat, and Anas Ghneim—were killed in the Al-Zahra area southwest of Gaza City, and their bodies were taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. Shaat regularly contributed to AFP but was not on assignment at the time.

The Israeli military stated that troops had identified individuals operating a drone “affiliated with Hamas” in central Gaza and struck them due to the threat posed. The military said details of the strike are under review.

According to the civil defense and eyewitnesses, the journalists were accompanying a vehicle filming aid distribution by the Egyptian Relief Committee when it was targeted. Mohammed Mansour, a spokesperson for the committee, said the vehicle bore the organization’s logo and described the strike as a deliberate attack.

Hamas condemned the strike as a “dangerous escalation” of ceasefire violations, while the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate called it part of a “systematic and deliberate policy” targeting journalists.

Since the ceasefire brokered by the U.S. on Oct. 10, Israeli forces have killed at least 466 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Israeli officials said militants killed three of their soldiers during the same period. The health ministry reported another eight Palestinians were killed in strikes on Wednesday.

Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders has recorded at least 29 Palestinian journalists killed by Israeli forces in Gaza between December 2024 and December 2025, with nearly 220 journalists killed since the outbreak of war in October 2023. RSF data identifies Gaza as the deadliest location in the world for journalists.

The strike came hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted an invitation to join U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace,” aimed at addressing conflicts in the region.
