Another Palestinian journalist has been killed in Gaza, bringing the death toll of media workers in the besieged enclave to two within 24 hours, according to reports.
Omar al-Diraoui, a journalist, lost his life when Israeli forces targeted his home in the az-Zawayda area of central Gaza, as confirmed by the Palestinian Media Centre.
His death comes just a day after the killing of photographer Hassan al-Qishaoui, whose death Al Jazeera verified on Thursday.
At least 217 media professionals have been killed by Israel since 7 October, 2023, making Gaza one of the deadliest places in the world for those documenting war crimes and human rights abuses.
