Five Palestinian journalists were killed in a double-tap Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital. The attack, captured on live TV, showed journalists and medics shielding themselves moments before the second bomb detonated. This incident brings the total number of Palestinian journalists killed in the Gaza conflict to over 247 in 22 months, surpassing casualties in previous major wars. The deaths have sparked international outrage and calls for increased protection of journalists in conflict zones. The stories of the five slain journalists – Moaz Abu Taha, Hussam al-Masri, Ahmed Abu Aziz, Mohammad Salama, and Mariam Dagga – highlight their dedication to reporting despite immense personal risks.
