Palestinian journalist Mohammed Washah was assassinated after an ‘Israeli’ airstrike directly targeted his vehicle in the Sheikh Ajlin neighborhood, located west of Gaza City. Washah’s death adds to the mounting toll of media professionals killed during the ongoing war.

Direct strike destroys vehicle

Medical and field sources confirmed that the targeted aerial bombardment completely destroyed Washah's vehicle. 

Extreme risks for media workers

The assassination of Washah further highlights the severely dangerous operational environment facing press members currently on the ground in the Gaza Strip. 

Just prior to being struck by ‘Israeli’ missiles, Washah was actively performing his professional duties, working to cover the ongoing bombardment and document the severe humanitarian conditions for the international community.

The targeted killing of Washah brings the devastating toll of media workers killed to 260, according to the United Nations.
