ALBAWABA - Photojournalist Roshdi Sarraj has been killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted his home in Gaza City, making him the 22nd journalist to be killed since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza. 

Committee to Protect Journalists reported at least 22 journalists were among the more than 4,000 dead on both sides since the war began on October 7, with hundreds killed in Tuesday’s hospital blast in Gaza.

Journalists in Gaza face particularly high risks as they try to cover the conflict in the face of a ground assault by Israeli troops, devastating Israeli airstrikes, disrupted communications, and extensive power outages.
