"The missile that burned journalists alive: Journalist Alam al-Din Sadeq stood amid the scorched remains of the journalists’ camp near Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, holding what was left of the Israeli missile that struck while they slept. He described how his colleague Ahmed Mansour was burned alive, and Helmi al-Faqaawi was killed instantly as he lay in his bed. It wasn’t a single tent that was hit, but a cluster of journalist tents lined up next to each other, all marked and known. The missile shattered a space filled with memories of work and solidarity, reducing it to blood, blackness, and silence. Source: alam_sadeq1 (IG)" - Source
