Israel Tent Bombing with TRUMP BOMBS Kills Journalists

GAZA/CAIRO, April 7 (Reuters) - A Palestinian journalist was killed on Monday and nine others were wounded, some critically, when an Israeli air strike hit a tent used by local media in southern Gaza, medics and the local journalists' union said.

Footage showed people trying to douse flames in the tent, inside the compound of the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, during the early hours of Monday.

Later, dozens of journalists and relatives took part in the funeral of the dead journalist, Helmy al-Faqawi.

Colleagues carried his white-shrouded body on a medical stretcher with his blue flak jacket placed on top.

"We will continue to deliver the message and convey the truth to the whole world. This is our humanitarian duty," said fellow journalist Abd Shaat, who added that they were woken by the strike to find the nearby tent of their colleagues on fire.

Faqawi's death raised the number of journalists killed by Israel's campaign in Gaza to more than 210 since October 2023, according to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate.

In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned Faqawi's death as an act of "extra-judicial killing" aimed at scaring off reporters and stopping media coverage.

In total, local health authorities said Israeli military strikes had killed at least 20 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Monday.

More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli offensive in Gaza, Palestinian officials say.
