Mohammad
Abu Hasira is one of dozens of journalists to be killed by the month-long
bombardment of Gaza.
An Israeli air raid has killed Palestinian journalist Mohammad Abu
Hasira along with 42 family members near Gaza City, according to local media
reports.
The
Israeli bombing “targeted his house” overnight between Sunday and Monday, the
Wafa news agency reported on Tuesday.
The press service of Hamas, the group that rules Gaza, said Abu
Hasira’s body was recovered under the debris.
He
is one of at least 37 journalists killed in Israeli attacks since October 7,
according to figures released by the press freedoms group Committee to Protect
Journalists (CPJ) on Monday.
Thirty-two
of the journalists CPJ tracked were Palestinian, four were Israelis, and one
was Lebanese.
On
October 25, an Israeli attack killed the family of Al Jazeera bureau chief Wael Dahdouh,
including his wife, son, daughter, grandson, and at least eight other
relatives.
Israel has waged a devastating bombing campaign
on the Gaza Strip since October 7 following a Hamas attack on Israeli territory
that killed more than 1,400 people, mostly civilians, Israeli authorities say. Israel’s
attacks have since killed more than 10,000 Palestinians, a third of them
children, Gaza officials say, and displaced 1.5 million people.
The United Nations’ rights chief, Volker Turk, said on Tuesday it has been “one
full month of carnage, of incessant suffering, bloodshed, destruction, outrage
and despair”.
