Palestinian journalist, Roshdi Sarraj, has been killed by an Israeli missile strike in Gaza City, Ednews reports citing the official Palestinian press agency WAFA.
Sarraj was a fixer, a translator for foreign journalists, at French national public radio broadcaster Radio France and had been working with its correspondents since May 2021, according to the French broadcaster.
His family members were also injured in the strike that targeted a house in Gaza City in the northern part of the besieged territory, and they were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital, according to WAFA. Radio France said his wife and one-year-old daughter were injured.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, at least 23 journalists have been killed in the Israel-Hamas conflict as of Sunday, with another eight reported injured and three reported missing or detained.
Nineteen of those killed were Palestinian, including Sarraj, while three were Israeli and one was Lebanese, the CPJ said.
When CNN reached out to the Israel Defense Forces for comment, the IDF said on Monday “in stark contrast to Hamas' intentional attacks on Israeli men, women and children, the IDF follows international law and takes feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm.”
