Three journalists were killed in Israeli raids on Friday December 1, a day after the last day of the truce between Israel and Hamas. This brings the number of journalists killed in the conflict up to 73.

Gaza’s Hamas-run government said three journalists were killed in Israeli raids on Friday as fierce fighting resumed after a week-long truce.

The government press office identified the three as cameraman Muntassir al-Sawwaf, who worked for Turkey’s Anadolu state news agency, his brother Marwan, who worked as a soundman, and cameraman Abdullah Darwish.

It said their deaths increased to 73 the number of journalists killed since the war began on October 7.
