Gaza Journalist Hossam Shabat Killed By Israel After Military Placed Him on "Hit List" [View all]



On Monday, Israeli strikes killed two Palestinian journalists: Al Jazeera's Hossam Shabat, who was 23 years old, and Palestine Today's Mohammed Mansour, who was killed in his apartment alongside his wife. This brings the total number of journalists that Israel has killed in Gaza over the past year and a half to 206. Just before his death, Shabat had shared news of Mansour's killing on social media and filed an article with Drop Site News describing Israel's scorched-earth campaign in his hometown of Beit Hanoun. His editor Sharif Abdel Kouddous remembers Shabat as a "warm and funny person," dedicated to his job and his community. In recent months, he had been under increasing surveillance by the Israeli military, which labeled him a terrorist and placed him on a "hit list." Despite being "targeted and openly hunted," Shabat "continued nevertheless to cover the genocide of his people."

Obviously not. Only one candidate, Harris, would have brought them closer to that. Oopsie Daisy Mar 2025 #12
Everyone had and has a choice, leaders or protesters alike. Uncle Joe Mar 2025 #13
