https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/094b557e-6681-43ee-a66f-4733d855220d Israeli forces killed Middle East Eye journalists Mohamed Salama and Ahmed Abu Aziz on Monday, in a double-tap strike on the Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip. David Hearst, the editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, called Salama and Abu Aziz “exceptional journalists,” who were working in “near impossible conditions” and were deliberately “murdered” by Israel. Israeli forces bombed the fourth floor of the facility at around 11am local time, then moments later, according to videos seen by MEE, fired a second missile deliberately at reporters, bystanders and first responders who had gathered to help recover the dead and wounded. At the time of the attack, videos showed smoke billowing from an upper level at the hospital as rescue workers, standing on what appeared to be a staircase, appealed to those on ground level for help. Then the second missile struck the exact area where they had amassed, with a correspondent for Jordan’s Al-Ghad TV channel shouting during a live broadcast that innocent people had been killed. At least three other journalists were among the 19 Palestinians killed in the attack, including Mariam Dagga, a freelance reporter who worked with several media outlets including the Associated Press; Moaz Abu Taha, a journalist with NBC; and Hussam al-Masri, a photojournalist with the Reuters news agency. Israel’s genocidal war has been described as the “worst ever conflict” for journalists, according to a report published in April by the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. The report, titled News Graveyards: How Dangers to War Reporters Endanger the World, said the Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip since October 2023 had “killed more journalists than the US Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia and Laos), the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and 2000s, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, combined”.
