Israeli journalist Zvi Yehezkeli has praised Israel’s killing<\/a> of Palestinian <\/a>journalists in a “double-tap” attack<\/a> on the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.<\/p>\n

The Arab affairs correspondent for i24 News was speaking during a broadcast on Monday, which was later shared by the channel on the social media platform X.<\/p>\n

“These are Nukhba men in every way,” Yehezkeli said, referring to the slain journalists as members of an elite Hamas military unit.<\/p>\n

Yehezkeli, a settler living in the occupied West Bank, said that the journalists had helped to damage Israel’s reputation by sharing images of starvation the state has imposed on Palestinians in the besieged territory.<\/p>\n

“They continued the legacy of Yahya Sinwar by so-called journalism,” he added, in reference to Hamas’ slain leader.<\/p>\n

“Just think about how much damage these journalists…you call them Nukhba journalists, how much damage they have done to Israel.<\/p>\n

“If Israel decides to eliminate the journalists, then it’s better late than never.”<\/p>\n

The Israeli military killed Middle East Eye journalists Mohamed Salama and Ahmed Abu Aziz<\/a> in the double-tap strike on Monday.<\/p>\n

Israeli forces bombed the fourth floor of Nasser Hospital at around 11am local time (09:00 BST), then moments later fired a second missile deliberately at reporters, bystanders and first responders who had gathered to help recover the dead and wounded.<\/p>\n
