Gaza (Quds News Network)- Palestinian journalist Ahmed Mansour, who sustained severe burns in Monday’s Israeli attack on a media tent in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, has died from his injuries, bringing the death toll from the assault to at least three.
Gaza’s Government Media Office issued a statement on Tuesday urging global support for Palestinian journalists following Israel’s deadly raid on a media tent early yesterday morning.
Mansour, who died from severe burns sustained in the attack, is the 211th media worker killed during Israel’s war on Gaza, according to the office.
Israel’s attack also burned Palestine Today reporter Hilmi al-Faqaawi to death along with another man named Yousef al-Khazindar.
Journalists Hassan Eslaih, Ahmed al-Agha, Muhammad Fayek, Abdallah Al-Attar, Ihab al-Bardini and Mahmoud Awad were also injured.
“We call on the International Federation of Journalists, the Federation of Arab Journalists, and all journalistic bodies in all countries of the world to condemn these systematic crimes against Palestinian journalists and media professionals in the Gaza Strip,” the office said.
