About IDF attempt to murder a group of journalists on Augustus 18:

Al-Hadath newspaper correspondent in Gaza narrates the details of targeting fellow journalists west of Khan Yunis city during the talk of colleague Rasha Ahmed: Regarding the incident that happened with a group of fellow journalists during coverage, colleagues arrived in the area west of Hamad City and Asdaa and the colleagues who were present were: Rasha says we were me, colleague Ezz Al-Deir Al-Maasher, Ibrahim Muharab, Salma Al-Qudomi and Saeed Al-Lulu on a journalistic coverage mission. Suddenly, a military tank advanced from the Al-Hawz area near the Jamil Wadi area in the northwestern part of Hamad City and opened heavy fire on colleagues. Ahmed indicates that some colleagues remained prone for more than 5 minutes due to the intensity of the gunfire until colleagues were able to miraculously get out, while colleague Salma was injured in the back and despite her injury, she continued running without being aware of the nature of the injury until she fell to the ground.
