Journalist Ahmed Mansour has succumbed to wounds, while six other citizens were killed, at dawn on Tuesday, as a result of an Israeli airstrike that targeted their home in the Beit Lahia project in the northern Gaza Strip.
Health sources announced that journalist Ahmed Mansour succumbed to his severe wounds and burns after Israeli aircraft targeted the journalists’ tent near Nasser Medical Complex the night before last.
According to Palestinian sources, six civilians from the Ayesh family were killed as a result of an Israeli airstrike that targeted their home in the Beit Lahia project.
Footage showed Ahmed Mansour, a reporter for Palestine Today news agency, burning alive after the strike on the journalists’ tent near Nasser Hospital in the city on Monday.
Appeals were made yesterday for the urgent transfer of journalist Mansour to receive treatment abroad to save his life, as he was in critical condition at the hospital without the necessary treatment.
It is worth noting that journalist Ahmad Mansour was married and a father of two boys and a girl.
In the same airstrike, Palestinian journalist Hilmi Al-Faqawi and youth Youssef Al-Khuzundar were killed, while several journalists were injured with varying degrees of burns and wounds.
Yesterday, the Government Media Office in Gaza announced that the number of journalist martyrs in the Gaza Strip has risen to 211 since the start of the genocidal war on the region, following the bombing of a journalists’ tent near Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis (southern Gaza).
