AP, Reuters demand answers from Israeli government on airstrike that killed journalists last month | AP News
Two major news agencies are demanding that Israel clarify what happened during strikes last month that killed five journalists as part of the Israeli war against Hamas in Gaza. Reuters and The Associated Press — through their top editors, Alessandra Galloni and Julie Pace — called on the Israeli government to “explain the deaths of these journalists and to take every step to protect those who continue to cover this conflict.” Killed in the strikes were five journalists, including visual journalist Mariam Dagga, who worked for AP and other news organizations; Reuters cameraman Hussam al-Masri; and Moaz Abu Taha, a freelance journalist whose work had been published by Reuters.
