Second Palestinian Journalist Shot Dead by Israeli Forces in Gaza

HeadlineApr 26, 2018

In the Gaza Strip, Palestinian journalist Ahmed Abu Hussein died Wednesday from wounds he sustained while covering protests against Israel’s occupation. Hussein was shot in the abdomen on April 13 even though he was wearing protective gear clearly marked ”PRESS.” He’s the second Palestinian journalist killed since large-scale protests erupted in Gaza on March 30. Earlier this month, Yaser Murtaja was shot and killed by an Israeli sniper under similar circumstances.
