U.S. Media and Foreign Conflicts

An Israeli strike near an Egyptian‑backed displacement camp in Gaza killed three Palestinian journalists — including AFP contributor Abdul Raouf (Abed) Shaat — when a vehicle was hit about 5 km from the Israeli‑controlled Netzarim area while they were filming; camp officials say the vehicle was known to the Israeli committee, and Israel says it struck a vehicle after spotting suspects operating a drone. The deaths were among at least 11 Palestinians killed across Gaza that day, including two 13‑year‑old boys, a woman and three brothers, prompting calls for a full investigation as press groups note more than 200 Palestinian journalists have been killed since 2023 and independent foreign reporters remain largely barred from Gaza during the ceasefire period.
