**Deck**: Gazan journalists report that four colleagues were killed in a strike on a building in Beit Lahia, with additional casualties from two UAV strikes in western Khan Yunis in the past hour.

Four journalists in the Gaza Strip have been reported killed in a strike on a building in Beit Lahia, while separate UAV attacks in western Khan Yunis have caused further casualties, according to Gazan media workers.

The building hit was in Beit Lahia in the northern part of the Strip, an area that has seen repeated attacks throughout the war. Gazan journalists reporting on the incident say four of their colleagues died in the strike on the structure tonight. They have not yet provided names or details on whether the building served only residential or media purposes, so it remains unclear what the attacking force believed it was targeting.

In western Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza, local reporters describe casualties from two separate UAV strikes in the past hour. They have not given precise numbers or the breakdown between those killed and injured, but the reports point to more than just property damage.

The loss of four journalists further thins the ranks of local reporters covering the conflict from inside Gaza. With foreign access constrained, Gazan journalists have been central to documenting strikes, ground operations and the humanitarian situation. Each time one is killed, it removes an eyewitness in areas where other forms of independent verification are scarce.

For civilians in Beit Lahia and Khan Yunis, the strikes reinforce the sense that there are few safe places. Both areas have at times hosted families displaced from other parts of Gaza, only to come back under fire as the focus of military operations shifts.

The deaths and new strikes are likely to add to concerns from international press‑freedom and human‑rights groups about the risks to journalists and other civilians in Gaza, and about how reliably events on the ground can be reported when local media staff are themselves frequent targets or collateral victims.
