Journalist Hiba al-Abadla, daughter martyred by IOF bombing on Gaza
Palestinian journalist Hiba al-Abadla and her daughter were martyred in an Israeli bombing targeting their home. This tragic incident brings the count of journalist martyrs to 111 since the beginning of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza confirmed the martyrdom of the Palestinian journalist, Hiba al-Abadla, and her daughter, Judy, as a result of an Israeli occupation bombing that targeted her home in the city of Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip.
Based on medical sources, the Palestinian Information Center announced the martyrdom of journalist al-Abadla and her daughter as a result of the occupation’s direct targeting of their home in Khan Younis on Tuesday evening.
With the martyrdom of al-Abadla, the tally of journalist martyrs has reached 111 since the beginning of the continuous Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, now entering its 96th consecutive day.

Several Palestinian media professionals and press entities expressed mourning for the loss of our colleague Al-Abadla. They emphasized that the occupation's brutal attack on her home, resulting in the martyrdom of her and her daughter, underscores its determination to target journalists and Palestinian media crews. This deliberate action aims to suppress the truth and hinder the portrayal of its crimes.
It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation targeted the Palestinian journalist, Ali Salem Abu Ajwa on Sunday. On that note, hours before the assassination of Abu Ajwa, the occupation targeted the two journalists, Hamza Wael al-Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya, who died after an Israeli drone launched a missile toward the vehicle they were in.
This comes as the occupation continues to target media and journalist crews in the Gaza Strip, in its ongoing attempts to obscure facts, conceal the truth, and prevent the reporting and documentation of its aggression and massacres.
Journalists in the Gaza Strip face significant risks, particularly as they attempt to cover the events of the ongoing aggression, Israeli airstrikes, communication cuts, shortage of supplies, and widespread power outages.
