Gazans pay homage to Palestinian journalists killed by Israel

The three, including a regular AFP contributor, were killed by an Israeli strike the day before that the military said had targeted "suspects" operating a drone. Mourners gathered around the bodies as they were taken from the morgue towards the hospital courtyard, where men lined up in silence to perform an Islamic funeral prayer recited for the dead. "Today we are witnessing a systematic execution by the Israeli occupation forces of our colleagues," Ibrahim Qannan, one of the oldest journalists present, told the crowd.
