Palestinian journalist Ahmed Aziz recounts his experience witnessing a media tent bombing in Khan Younis during an Israeli attack. On the night of the attack, two journalists, Hassan Islayeh and Ahmed Mansour, were inside the tent along with other colleagues. A strike hit the tent, causing severe injuries to all parties involved. Aziz describes the chaos that ensued as his colleagues attempted to save Mansour, who succumbed to his wounds a few days later.
Aziz’s account highlights the challenges faced by journalists in Gaza during times of conflict, including exhaustion from prolonged coverage of violence and the risk of injury or loss of life. He expresses his grief over Mansour’s death, describing him as kind and willing to help others. The attack on the media tent also had a profound impact on Aziz himself, who now avoids social interactions with journalists due to fear of losing colleagues.
The Israeli attack on the media tent is another example of the high-risk environment faced by journalists in Gaza during times of conflict.
