Israel kills journalist and her family in strike on their home

An Israeli air strike killed a Palestinian journalist and her family in a direct attack on her home in the central Gaza Strip, local authorities said on Monday.

Wafa Aludaini, a prominent English-speaking reporter who worked with international news outlets, died alongside her husband, Mueir Aludaini, and their two children in the overnight attack.

She was mourned by many fellow journalists who praised her dedication to bringing the stories of Palestinians to the world.

“Aludaini was well-known among European media outlets and conveyed the suffering of our people in English, which she was a master of,” Ahmed Abu Artema, a Palestinian journalist and friend of Aludaini, told Middle East Eye.

“The justification for her targeting are her words and work as a journalist,” he added.
