Gaza: noted Palestinian journalist Aludaini and family martyred in Israeli air strike

Noted Palestinian journalist and activist Wafa Aludaini was martyred along with her family in an Israeli air strike at dawn on Monday, the Palestinian Information Centre has reported. Her husband Munir and her two children, Balsam and Tamim, were also killed in the air strike on their home in Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza.

“The occupation forces assassinated journalist Wafa Aludaini, a prominent activist in conveying the Palestinian narrative to the foreign media,” said the Forum of Palestinian Journalists (FPJ). “She and her family were killed in a treacherous Israeli attack on their home.”

The FPJ pointed out that journalist Aludaini devoted her life to conveying the suffering of her oppressed people through international and Palestinian media, especially through her involvement in writing articles in English, conducting interviews with foreign activists, and holding online conferences and different activities in the English language.

“With her martyrdom, the Palestinian national media has lost a free voice full of love for Palestine and her people who fight for freedom and self-determination,” added the FPJ.

The Israeli occupation army has killed at least 174 journalists and other media workers in Gaza since 7 October last year.
