GAZA - At least eight journalists were killed and two others went missing in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, the Palestinian enclave's press office said on Wednesday.

The office in a statement said the slain journalists were Said al-Tavil, Muhammed Subh, Hisham en-Nawacihe, Ibrahim Lafi, Muhammed Cergun, Muhammed es-Salihi, Esad Shemlah and Selame Mime.

Two other journalists, Nidal al-Vahidi and Heysem Abdulvahid, were unaccounted for, reported Anadolu Agency.

Meanwhile, the houses of three journalists were completely destroyed and at least 40 media outlets were said to be the target of airstrikes.

The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has risen to 974 as the Israeli army struck hundreds of targets in the densely populated strip's residential and commercial neighbourhoods, the Health Ministry said on Wednesday.

The Israeli attacks also injured 5,000 people.

Israel has also cut water and electricity supplies to Gaza, worsening the blockaded enclave’s already dire humanitarian situation.

Home to nearly 2.2 million people, the Gaza Strip has already been reeling under a crippling Israeli siege since 2007. - BERNAMA
