At least four Palestinian journalists were killed in Israeli strikes targeting a group of media workers in Gaza City’s al-Ahli Arab hospital’s courtyard, local reporters told Middle East Eye.

According to local sources, the attack on Thursday morning came with no prior warning of the bombing.

The Israeli assault has so far claimed the lives of correspondent Suleiman Hajjaj and photographer Ismail Badah, who both worked for Palestine Today TV, alongside photographer Samir al-Rifai, who worked for the Shams News Agency.

Journalist Imad Daloul, who works for Palestine Today TV, and photographer Ahmed Qaljah, who worked for Al-Arabiya TV, were also critically injured in the Israeli attack and have been rushed to the intensive care unit.
