According to the source, Hussam Al-Adlouni was killed last night along with his wife and three of their children in a shelling of a tent housing displaced persons in the Al-Mawasi area.
The source said that his colleague Fadi Khalifa died in a similar incident a few hours ago while he was at his home in the Al-Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City.
The news outlet recalled that three days ago, Ahmed Abu Aisha, a correspondent for Palestine Today TV, was killed in an attack by an Israeli drone while he was outside his home at the Nuseirat refugee camp.
The Palestinian Journalists’ Union stated that these killings constitute a new Israeli crime and are part of “an ongoing attempt to silence our voice and hide the truth”.
Israel pursues a systematic policy of attacks against the sector, in flagrant violation of all international conventions that guarantee the protection of journalists during armed conflicts, he stressed.
Last week, the guild accused the army of that country of murdering seven communicators in June and carrying out a hundred violations against the sector in the occupied territories.
