Tributes pour in for Hossam Shabat and Mohammad Mansour

Tributes have poured in for Mohammad Mansour and Hossam Shabat, two Palestinian journalists killed by Israel in separate attacks on Monday. 

Mansour, a correspondent for Palestine Today, was killed in an Israeli air strike north of Khan Younis which targeted his home. His wife and son were also killed.

Hours later, Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent Hossam Shabat was targeted in his vehicle in Salah al-Din Street, north of the enclave.

Lamis Deek, a Palestinian-American lawyer, wrote: "Beloved Mohammad Mansour, our daily unshakeable companion whose name and voice is etched in our souls, what world or words are left without you... irreplaceable angels."

Hind Khoudary, a reporter in Gaza, posted a picture of Mansour and said: "Israel continues to kill Palestinian journalists."

"That Hossam reported on the killing of Mohammad Mansour, just an hour or two before he was killed by the same murderers is the gruesome, devastating reality for Palestinian journalists in Gaza," Sana Saeed, a former Al Jazeera reporter, wrote on X.
