Journalists Death Toll in Israeli Gaza Onslaught Rises to 48
Palestinian sources said on Tuesday that Yehya Abu Manie was killed in an Israeli bombardment of Gaza City, bringing to 48 the number of journalists killed since the start of the Israeli aggression last month.
Israeli warplanes also bombed the area surrounding the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza on Tuesday morning, while an Israeli drone fired a missile at the municipality building.
The government media office in Gaza said Israel conducted more than 250 fatal airstrikes on Gaza on Monday night and in the early hours of Tuesday.
Several airstrikes targeted residential buildings in the southern city of Khan Yunis, killing at least 27 people and injuring dozens of others.
Seven Palestinians were killed in an attack on a residential building in the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, while 27 were killed in attacks on houses in Rafah.
An unspecified number of casualties was also reported in an Israeli strike on Kamal Adwan Hospital in the city of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have repeatedly targeted hospitals, residential buildings, mosques, and churches. Under the Geneva Convention, attacks on hospitals are strictly prohibited.
Israel waged the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime’s decades-long crimes against Palestinians.
Tel Aviv has also blocked water, food, and electricity to Gaza, plunging the coastal strip into a humanitarian crisis.
The regime has further ordered 1.1 million people in the north of Gaza to evacuate and move south of the coastal sliver.
However, it has continued to rain down bombs on the south.
According to the Gaza-based health ministry, at least 10,022 Palestinians have been killed in the strikes, 70 percent of whom are women and children.
