Israeli strikes kill Palestinian journalist and senior rescue service official

Israeli strikes killed at least 20 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, including a journalist and a senior rescue service official, local health authorities said.

Israeli attacks were reported in Khan Younis in the south, Jabalia in the north and Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, medics said.

In Jabalia, Palestinian journalist Hassan Majdi Abu Warda and several family members were killed by an air strike that targeted his house.

Another air strike in Nuseirat killed Ashraf Abu Nar, a senior official in Gaza's civil emergency service, and his wife in their house, medics said.

Abu Warda's death raises the number of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza since October 2023 to 220, according to Palestinian officials.
