Palestinian journalist Salman Al-Bashir made emotional remarks live on television shortly after the death of his colleague Mohammad Abu Hattab in southern Gaza.
"I never thought for a moment that I would be announcing the martyrdom of [Abu Hattab], who stood next to me here 30 minutes ago," said Bashir. "We can’t take it anymore, we are exhausted. We are victims. The only difference between us is the time of death. We are killed one after another." "This gear and helmet do not protect any journalist, they are just empty slogans," said Bashir, as he took off his press vest and helmet. "We are victims, live on air. We are victims awaiting our turn to be killed." At least 36 journalists have been killed since the war began on 7 October, of whom 31 are Palestinian, four are Israeli and one Lebanese
