News - Middle East: The government media office in the Gaza Strip says another Palestinian journalist has been killed in an Israeli offensive on the blockaded coastal sliver, taking the death toll to 169 since last October when the occupying Tel Aviv regime launched its all-out onslaught there.

Ibrahim Muhareb was covering the infiltration of Israeli battle tanks into the northwestern neighborhoods of Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis on Sunday, when communications with him were all lost.

Palestinian paramedics managed to find his body near Hamad Residential City after Israeli troops had targeted a group of journalists with live bullets and rockets.

Journalists operating in the Palestinian territory are faced with 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 40,099 Gazans, most of them women, children, and adolescents. Another 92,609 Palestinians have sustained injuries as well.
