Palestinian journalist Ahmed Mansur has died on Monday after being injured with eight other colleagues in an attack by the Israel Army against a reporters in Jan Yunis, in the south of the Gaza Strip, in which a media professional and another person died.
The newspaper ‘Fistín’, linked to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), has confirmed in the last hours the death of Mansur “because of the wounds suffered when the occupation forces bombarded a journalist store at the Nasser Hospital” of the aforementioned town.
His death is added to that of the journalist Hilmi al Faqaui, who worked for the Palestine Today news agency, and another person in an attack that the Israel Defense Forces (FDI) have justified alleging that the goal was Hasan Aslí, one of the eight reporters that were injured, which identifies as “a member of Hamas that operates under the disguise of a journalist and owner of a media owner.”
“ASLÍ, a Terrorist from the Jan Yunis Brigade of Hamas, participated in the murderous massacre launched by the organization on October 7 (of 2023). During the massacre, he documented and published on social networks acts of looting, fire and murder,” they have stated in a statement.
With Mansur, there would be 211 dead journalists because of the “genocidal war” Israeli, according to the estimates of the Gazati authorities, who have made “totally responsible for this atrocious and brutal crime to the Israeli occupation, the US administration and the countries that participate in the genocide, including the United Kingdom, Germany and France.”
