"The results of the postmortems join a growing body of evidence that sharply contradicts #Israel’s account of the incident, including video footage that shows the vehicles were travelling with headlights and flashing red lights that identified them, with personnel wearing hi-vis vests, at the time they were fired on."

“I raised my children to love goodness and to do good deeds,” Sobhi said. “We had a principle in our home: do good without expecting thanks or praise. Mohammad [Bahloul] lived by this principle.

“We never expected this to happen – not even in our worst nightmares,” Sobhi added. “They went to save lives, only to become victims themselves.”

"Amid what the United Nations has described as a “concerted policy to destroy #Gaza’s healthcare system,” the #RedCross and #RedCrescent said it was the single deadliest attack on their workers anywhere in the world since 2017. Gaza’s Civil Defense, likewise, called it “one of the most heinous massacres” they have witnessed. "

#Gaza Journalist Fadi al-Wahidi Avoided Israel’s “Red” Zone. #Israel Shot Him Anyway.

Investigative journalists working as part of the #GazaProject used reporting, geolocation, and forensic analysis to reconstruct the shooting of #FadiAlWahidi.

"Al-Wahidi and his colleagues weren’t the only journalists attacked in Jabalia that day. A kilometer way, about half an hour earlier, Mohammed al-Tanani, a cameraman for Al Aqsa TV, was killed in an airstrike. Tamer Lubbad, the channel’s correspondent, was injured in the same attack. They, too, were in the “yellow” zone designated by the #Israeli military, according to Lubbad.

“It’s clear to everyone that we are journalists,” Lubbard said, noting that they were wearing press gear. “We were targeted.”"

#Israel Leveled Gaza — Then Killed the Drone Journalists Who Showed it to the World

Only drones can begin to capture the scale of destruction in the Gaza Strip. The journalists doing it were targeted again and again.

Hoda Osman, Youssr Youssef
March 27 2025, 3:00 a.m.

"According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, or CPJ, the war is the deadliest conflict for journalists since the group began keeping records. At least 165 #Palestinian journalists have been killed — more than the number of journalists killed during six years of World War II.

As the toll on journalists grew, #drone journalists suffered a proportionately huge loss.
...around 10 drone journalists were working in #Gaza at the outset of the war. Five have been killed..."
