Journalist killed by Israeli air strike in Gaza

An Israeli air strike on a home in Gaza killed a journalist and wounded several others on Wednesday morning.

Yusef Abu Hussein, a presenter on a Palestinian Radio channel, was killed in an Israeli air raid in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood in the besieged Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Several people were injured in the attack and were transferred to al-Shifa Hospital.

Israel also bombed a site west of the city of Rafah, in the south of the coastal enclave, and a charitable society in the city, completely destroying them, Wafa reported.

The latest reported killing brings Wednesday's death toll to four.
