Gaza journalist killed alongside 42 relatives, news agency says

BBC News:

A Palestinian reporter has been killed alongside 42 family members, his news agency says, as a watchdog said the past month had been the most deadly for journalists since its records began.

The Wafa news agency said Mohammad Abu Hasira was killed in an Israeli air strike on Gaza City.

At least 37 journalists had been killed since the war began, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said.

These include 32 Palestinians, four Israelis and one Lebanese.

The CPJ said it was unclear whether all had been covering the conflict at the time of their deaths but said it was including them in its count while it investigated the circumstances.

The group began documenting journalist fatalities in 1992.

Last month Israel told international news organisations Reuters and AFP that it could not guarantee the safety of their journalists operating in the Gaza Strip.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was targeting Hamas throughout Gaza and accused the group of placing military operations “in the vicinity of journalists and civilians”.

Israeli air strikes could additionally damage nearby buildings, the IDF said.
