The government media office in the Gaza Strip says another Palestinian journalist has been killed in the besieged coastal sliver, pushing the journalists’ death toll to 166 since the Tel Aviv regime unleashed its military raids, bombardments and missile attacks last October.

Mohammed Issa Abu Saada was killed in an Israeli bombing that targeted the vicinity of his family house in al-Zana neighborhood, east of the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis, on Tuesday evening.

Abu Saada worked as a correspondent and photojournalist for a number of Palestinian media outlets.

Israel kills 2 more journalists in Gaza Strip: Report

The regime killed two Al Jazeera journalists after blowing up a vehicle west of Gaza City.

Journalists operating in the Palestinian territory face increased dangers as they report on the conflict amidst Israeli ground assaults and airstrikes, disrupted communications, supply shortages, and power outages.

Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after Palestinian resistance groups carried out a surprise retaliatory operation into the occupied territories.

Concomitantly with the war, the regime has been enforcing a near-total siege on the coastal territory, which has reduced the flow of foodstuffs, medicine, electricity, and water into the Palestinian territory into a trickle.

So far during the military onslaught, the regime has killed at least 39,653 Gazans, most of them women, children, and adolescents. Another 91,535 Palestinians have sustained injuries as well.
