Israel Kills Three Journalists in Gaza Working with Egyptian Humanitarian Group
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli attacks on Gaza killed at least 11 Palestinians Wednesday,
including three journalists who were working with the Egyptian Committee
for Gaza Relief. Mohammad Qeshta, Abdul Ra'ouf Shaath and Anas Ghunaim
were killed when an Israeli missile struck their vehicle. Shaath was a
contributor to CBS News and Agence France-Presse. He had just gotten
married a few weeks ago. Mohamed Mansour of the Egyptian Committee for
Gaza Relief condemned Israel's attack on the journalists.

Mohamed Mansour: "What happened is a very big crime committed by the
Israeli army by targeting a crew belonging to the Egyptian committee.
This crew was not firing rockets nor fighting the Israeli army. The
Egyptian committee's crew was on a humanitarian mission. This crew is
searching day and night for a shelter to house our people."

According to the International Federation of Journalists, at least 258
journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since 2023.
