Gaza, MINA – A Palestinian journalist was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, bringing the death toll of reporters killed since October 2023 to 262, according to local authorities, as cited by Anadolu Agency.
The Gaza Government Media Office identified the journalist as Mohammed Wishah, a correspondent for Al Jazeera Mubasher. In a statement, the office said his killing reflects a “systematic targeting and assassination” of Palestinian journalists by Israel.
The media office called on the International Federation of Journalists, the Arab Journalists Union, and media bodies worldwide to “condemn these systematic crimes against Palestinian journalists and media workers in the Gaza Strip.”
It also appealed to the international community and relevant organizations to “stop these repeated attacks,” prosecute those responsible in international courts, and exercise “serious and effective pressure to stop the crime of genocide” while protecting journalists in Gaza.

The latest killing comes as the broader death toll in Gaza continues to mount. More than 72,000 people have been killed and over 171,000 others injured in the deadly Israeli war in Gaza since October 2023. The assault was halted under a US-backed ceasefire that took effect last October.[]
