The Gaza Health Ministry reported Thursday that an Israeli airstrike killed five Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip. 

The strike happened outside of the Al-Awda Hospital, and the journalists were working for the Quds News Network, according to NPR.

The Israeli Defense Forces stated that they were targeting militants from Islamic Jihad.

The Committee to Protect Journalists said that over 130 Palestinian journalists have been killed since the war started between Israel and Hamas began in 2023.

The war in Gaza followed Hama’s Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel and killed 1,200 people.
