Gaza (Uttam Hindu News): Three Palestinian journalists were injured in Israeli shelling on the Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Palestinian sources said.
Witnesses told Xinhua news agency on Friday that Israeli artillery fired on a group of journalists as they covered events in the Nusraat camp.
According to the news agency report, on Thursday the Israeli army announced the launch of a military operation on the outskirts of Nusirat camp.
Medical sources told the news agency that three injured journalists arrived at Shuhada al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah. One of them had his right leg amputated and shrapnel wounds on his body, while the other two suffered minor injuries.
There has been no comment from the Israeli Army on this incident.
Meanwhile, the Hamas-run state media office said in a statement that Israeli forces targeted three journalists because they were wearing jackets with clear “press” markings.
The statement described it as a “crime of targeting media persons”.
Nearly 140 journalists have been killed in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip in six months, according to figures from the Gaza government media office.
