With press vests laid atop their bodies, six more Palestinian journalists targeted and killed by Israeli forces were laid to rest on Monday.

It was a scene that had played out devastatingly frequently over the past 22 months: reporters with the word "press" proudly displayed on their jackets gathering to grieve and pray for slain colleagues.

Anas al-Sharif, Middle East Eye contributor Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, Moamen Aliwa and Mohammed al-Khalidi were the latest names among 238 journalists killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since the war began in October 2023.

Their media tent, set up outside al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, was deliberately targeted late on Sunday night.

Medhat al-Sawalha, whose own tent is metres away, saw the aftermath of the attack.
