#Gaza Journalist Fadi al-Wahidi Avoided Israel’s “Red” Zone. #Israel Shot Him Anyway.

Investigative journalists working as part of the #GazaProject used reporting, geolocation, and forensic analysis to reconstruct the shooting of #FadiAlWahidi.

"Al-Wahidi and his colleagues weren’t the only journalists attacked in Jabalia that day. A kilometer way, about half an hour earlier, Mohammed al-Tanani, a cameraman for Al Aqsa TV, was killed in an airstrike. Tamer Lubbad, the channel’s correspondent, was injured in the same attack. They, too, were in the “yellow” zone designated by the #Israeli military, according to Lubbad.

“It’s clear to everyone that we are journalists,” Lubbard said, noting that they were wearing press gear. “We were targeted.”"

#Israel Leveled Gaza — Then Killed the Drone Journalists Who Showed it to the World

Only drones can begin to capture the scale of destruction in the Gaza Strip. The journalists doing it were targeted again and again.

Hoda Osman, Youssr Youssef
March 27 2025, 3:00 a.m.

"According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, or CPJ, the war is the deadliest conflict for journalists since the group began keeping records. At least 165 #Palestinian journalists have been killed — more than the number of journalists killed during six years of World War II.

As the toll on journalists grew, #drone journalists suffered a proportionately huge loss.
...around 10 drone journalists were working in #Gaza at the outset of the war. Five have been killed..."

"Over the past week, the streets of Gaza City’s western neighborhoods have been transformed into a densely crowded maze of tents, with laundry lines criss-crossing between them and the cacophony of children's voices filling the air. Over 142,000 people were newly displaced across #Gaza, according to the United Nations, between March 18 and 23."

As Freed Palestinians Describe Torture, Trump OKs $3 Billion Arms Package for Israel

Like the #Biden administration, #Trump is claiming an "emergency" in order to bypass Congress.

Brett Wilkins

As #Palestinians released from #Israeli imprisonment recount torture and other abuse suffered at the hands of their former captors, the Trump administration on Friday approved a new $3 billion weapons package for #Israel.

The new package, reported by Zeteo's Prem Thakker, includes nearly $2.716 billion worth of bombs and weapons guidance kits, as well as $295 million in bulldozers.

Alex Tyrrell, party leader of the Green Party of Quebec, who accompanied #Engler to the police station on Thursday, spoke to the Middle East Eye about Engler’s arrest.

“I think it’s a shocking attack on free expression and democratic rights and criticism of Israel in Canada - a country that’s supposed to be a free, democratic society. We’re supposed to speak out about a genocide," Tyrrel told MEE.
