Local sources explained that a quadcopter drone bombed the journalist Balousha on Ahmed Yassin Street in Al-Saftawi neighborhood, in the northern Gaza Strip, which led to his immediate death.
Balousha has been working as the correspondent for Al-Mashhad Channel since the start of the war on Gaza, and was previously injured on December 12, 2023, by an Israeli sniper.
His body was brought to Sheikh Radwan Clinic Center, northwest of Gaza City, the sources added.
On Friday morning, the photographer Shadi Al-Salafiti was martyred in an Israeli attack that bombed a group of citizens in the vicinity of the industry area west of Gaza City.
With the martyrdom of Balousha, the death toll of journalists has risen to 195 martyrs since October 7, 2023, according to data of Government Media Office in Gaza.
