Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip killed four people on Wednesday, including an Al Jazeera journalist, Gazan health authorities said and the Qatari state-funded television network reported.
The strike that killed Al Jazeera's Muhammad Washah targeted a vehicle he and one other Palestinian, who was also killed, were driving along the coastal road in Gaza City, health authorities said.
Al Jazeera, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, reported on its Arabic-language TV channel that he was killed in a drone strike.
The Hamas-run government media office in Gaza condemned Washah's killing.
In February 2024, at the height of Israel's war in Gaza, the IDF accused Washah of being a member of Hamas. It released photos that it said showed him operating weapons systems, saying that it found the photos on a computer that it said troops had confiscated during a raid in Gaza.
At the time, Hamas and Al Jazeera denied that Washah had any affiliation with the group. Israel's military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on his killing.
Israel strikes others in Gaza, suspected terrorist across Yellow Line
In a separate incident in Gaza, medics said an Israeli airstrike killed two people in the central Gaza Strip, without providing details. There was no immediate comment from Israel's military on the incident.
The IDF on Wednesday night also announced that it had killed a suspected terrorist who had crossed the Yellow Line and approached troops in northern Gaza in a threatening manner.
