Journalist Ashraf Abu Amra was injured in the hand when he was hit by a gas bomb while covering the protests east of Khan Younis, which required him to undergo surgery to save his arm while a number of other journalists also suffocated with the toxic gas fired in their direction.
The PJS said by targeting journalists in the Gaza Strip, Israel attempts to hide the truth about its crimes against the Palestinian people as the occupation continues with its aggression, which only increases the journalists’ resolve to continue to convey the truth and expose the practices of the Israeli occupation.
