Israeli forces on Sunday killed another Palestinian journalist, Ibrahim Muhareb, according to the International Federation of Journalists, bringing the total number of Palestinian journalists and news media workers killed since Oct. 7 to at least 123, the federation said. The Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate said that Mr. Muhareb, a freelancer, was killed and another journalist was hit with shrapnel and hospitalized after Israeli tank fire targeted Mr. Muhareb and a group of his colleagues near the city of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza. The group was wearing gear identifying them as journalists. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the attack.
• More than half of all aid workers killed around the world in 2023 were slain during the first three months of the war in Gaza, the United Nations’ humanitarian office said on Monday. Those killings, largely from airstrikes, turned 2023 into the deadliest year on record for aid workers, the office said in a statement commemorating World Humanitarian Day. UNRWA, the U.N. agency that is the largest aid group on the ground in Gaza, said that 207 of its workers had been killed since the war began.
