Anadolu Agency photojournalist Ali Jadallah house was bombed during Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday.
"For years, I documented the pain of my people as their homes were bombed and destroyed, rendering them homeless. But eventually, my own story of tragedy and sorrow would need to be told, as I am also Palestinian. Israeli planes bombed my house, and along with it, my memories, hopes, and hardships. But the fact that God saved me and my family from the blast is enough for me. We are all fine, thank God." Jadallah wrote on his Instagram.
Meanwhile, the houses of three journalists were completely destroyed and at least 40 media outlets were said to be the target of airstrikes.
At least eight journalists were killed and two others went missing in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, which started after Hamas's surprise offensive in Israel on Saturday, the Palestinian enclave's press office said on Wednesday.
The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has risen to 974 as Israeli struck hundreds of targets in the densely-populated strip's residential and commercial neighborhoods, the Health Ministry said on Wednesday.
