Three Palestinian journalists working for an Egyptian relief organization were killed in an Israeli strike in central Gaza. The Israeli military stated they targeted individuals operating a Hamas-affiliated drone that posed a threat and are examining the incident. The Hamas-run Civil Defence agency identified the journalists as Mohammed Salah Qeshta, Anas Ghunaim, and Abdul Raouf Shaat, stating their car was hit in the al-Zahra area. Separately, eight other Palestinians, including two children, were reportedly killed by Israeli artillery and gunfire across Gaza on Wednesday. Since the ceasefire began on October 10th, at least 466 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, while the Israeli military reports three soldiers killed in attacks by Palestinian armed groups. Hamas condemned the strike as a violation of the ceasefire, while the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate called it a war crime.
