Israel claims targeted militant was operating under journalist's guise

- 

Hamas and rescuers said an Israeli strike on southern Gaza killed one journalist and wounded nine others yesterday, while the Israeli military reported it targeted a militant posing as a reporter.

The journalist is one of at least 12 people killed in Israeli strikes across the Palestinian territory yesterday, according to Gaza's civil defence agency, as the war entered its 19th month.

An air strike hit a tent used by journalists in the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis, killing two people, said civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal, adding that nine journalists were wounded in the strike
