Israeli air strikes kill families of two Palestinian journalists

Separate Israeli air strikes killed the family members of two Palestinian journalists in Gaza.

Ahmad al-Batta, a reporter for Qatar-based Al Araby, lost his mother and several other members of his family in one attack.

A video of Batta finding out about the attack has been aired by Al Araby.

Separately, Sameer Radi, a reporter for a Palestinian television channel, also lost his wife and two children in an air strike.

I hesitate to share, but this is journalist Ahmad Al-Batta upon learning that the Israeli military killed his mother, sister, and her children. Not only has the IOF killed 109 journalists since Oct 7, it has systemically targeted the families of Palestinian journalists. https://t.co/Dbmi9ZZ7eG
