Israel bombs Gaza journalist’s home, killing 8 family members

Israeli airstrikes have bombed the home of Gaza journalist Osama al-Arbid in the Gaza Strip, killing at least eight members of his family. Al-Arbid reportedly survived the assassination attempt.

The Wednesday attack also injured several people and flattened the entire neighborhood in northern Gaza.

Images broadcast by Palestinian media showed al-Arbid’s house engulfed in flames, while video footage captured the moment he was pulled from beneath the rubble.

Since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, journalists have been among the hardest hit.

According to media watchdogs and Palestinian officials, more than 212 journalists have been killed by Israel forces—making it one of the deadliest wars for media workers in modern history.

Many were killed alongside their family members in targeted airstrikes on their homes.
