A Palestinian journalist, identified as Mohammad Salhi was killed by Israeli fire while reporting on the “escalating tensions” at the “border” in the eastern region of al-Bureij in the central Gaza Strip on Saturday. 
 
News agency Wafa reported that a Palestinian journalist was killed in an Israel attack who was reporting in the Al Bureij area of the Gaza Strip. 
 
As per reports, many Palestinians have left their homes along the border areas. Also, over 100 Israelis have been wounded in rocket strikes across south and central areas of Israeli-occupied territories of Tel Aviv and Rehovot. 
 
Fighting erupted in the Gaza Strip as the exchange of gunfire, rockets, and shelling unfolded between Palestinian factions and Israeli occupation forces. 
 
Reportedly, Hamas launched a series of missiles from Gaza with Palestinian armed fighters entering into Israeli-occupied territories by parachutes. 
 
Israel’s defence has declared a ‘state of readiness for war.’
 
Two Palestinians were killed in Gaza while a woman was killed in “Isreal.” 
 
On 5 October, two Palestinians were killed in the West Bank as Israel intensified military raids for more than 18 months in what it says is a campaign to root out Palestinian resistance fighters. 
 
In July, Israel launched one of its biggest attacks on the occupied West Bank, killing at least 12 Palestinians in the Jenin refugee camp and wounding about 100 others.
 
The United Nations has said 2023 has been the the deadliest year for Palestinians since it started counting deaths in 2006.
 
More than 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the start of this year, according to the health ministry. At least 35 Israelis were also killed in Palestinian attacks during the same period.
