An Israeli air strike tragically took the lives of Palestinian journalist Wafa Aludaini, her husband, and their two children in the central Gaza Strip. Aludaini, a respected reporter who highlighted the stories of Palestinians to the world, was mourned by fellow journalists and friends for her dedication and mastery of the English language.
The Gaza-based government media office condemned Israel’s targeting of journalists, noting that Aludaini was the 174th journalist killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October. Friends of Palestine in Prague also paid tribute to Aludaini, highlighting her role in providing updates on the situation in Palestine.
Amid ongoing Israeli strikes on Gaza, the death toll continues to rise, with at least 20 people killed in the past 24 hours. The violence has claimed thousands of Palestinian lives, including many children, drawing international condemnation.
In response, the armed wing of Hamas claimed an ambush on Israeli forces, resulting in casualties on the Israeli side. The escalating conflict underscores the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to end the cycle of violence in the region.
