What happened in the past few minutes in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza: an Israeli aircraft targeted a residential home with a bomb that did not explode. As people gathered around to evacuate the residents, a second bomb was dropped, which exploded and devastated the entire neighborhood. A third bomb was dropped a few minutes later. At least two Palestinians were killed, and many others were injured.

It is nine months since award-winning #journalist Minnie Chan last filed a story. Based in #HongKong, last seen in Beijing. Her children, current and former colleagues care only for her welfare and hope she is OK. There’ll be no high profile ‘swap’ for her - just people hoping.

Free at last! RSF is hugely relieved by today's release of @WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich and @RFERL journalist Alsu Kurmasheva as part of a prisoner exchange with #Russia. Journalists are not targets and must not be used as political pawns! https://t.co/bsx2ZvrKpn

#Iraq #Kurdistan: Two Iraqi Kurdish reporters, #MydiaHussen and Murad Mirza of @tv_cira, injured in suspected Turkish strike in Sinjar while returning from covering ISIS attack commemoration. Both are being treated for head injuries. #WPF strongly denounces attack and wishes the journalists a swift recovery. We demand both Turkish and Iraqi authorities investigate the strike thoroughly.
