Israeli forces launched an assault on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, resulting in injuries to journalists and civilians. The attack, which included tank fire, targeted media professionals wearing clearly marked press jackets. The Turkish state broadcaster TRT condemned the deliberate attack on journalists, with one cameraman losing a leg and others sustaining injuries. This incident adds to the growing violence against journalists in Gaza, with at least 95 media workers killed during the conflict.
Video footage captured the chaos as people, including children and the elderly, sought shelter from the artillery fire and gunshots. An elderly man named Saleh recounted his attempt to flee the area, only to be hit by shrapnel. The intense artillery fire caused injuries to both civilians and journalists, with several individuals requiring treatment at Al-Awda Hospital.
The Nuseirat camp has been the target of multiple Israeli airstrikes in recent days, with one attack claiming the lives of 14 people earlier in the week. The ongoing violence in Gaza continues to take a toll on civilians and media personnel, highlighting the dangers faced by those reporting on the conflict.
