An Israeli airstrike on central Gaza killed five Palestinian journalists from Al-Quds Today TV, a channel linked to Islamic Jihad, as they slept in a marked broadcast truck. Witnesses say the truck was directly hit. Israel's military claimed it targeted a vehicle carrying militants but denied attacking media workers. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate reports 195 journalists killed since the Gaza war began in October 2023. International groups condemned the strike, emphasizing journalists are civilians under international law. The war has caused over 45,000 deaths in Gaza, mostly women and children, amidst accusations of severe humanitarian violations. Negotiations for a ceasefire remain stalled.
