ISRAELI forces bombed tents outside two major hospitals in Gaza overnight, killing a local reporter and injuring several other journalists, medics have said.
Fifteen other people were killed in separate airstrikes by Israel across the territory, it has been reported.
A media tent outside Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis was struck by an airstrike at 2am which killed a reporter for the Palestine Today TV station, Yousef al-Faqawi, and another man, according to the hospital.
Six reporters were also wounded in the air strike, which the Israeli military claimed struck a Hamas militant without providing further information, the Associated Press have said.
Israeli forces also bombed tents on the edge of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Deir al-Balah, wounding three people.
It was also reported that Nasser Hospital said it received 13 other bodies, including six women and four children, from separate strikes overnight.
Al-Aqsa Hospital said two people were killed and three others injured after a home in Deir al-Balah was bombed.
Israel has carried out waves of strikes across Gaza since it ended its ceasefire with Hamas last month.
Israel’s military operation in the Gaza Strip is expanding to seize “large areas,” according to defence minister Israel Katz and the country has barred the import of food, fuel, medicine and humanitarian aid since the beginning of March.
Thousands of people have sheltered in tents set up inside hospital compounds throughout the 18-month conflict, assuming Israel would be less likely to target them.
However, Israel has raided hospitals on several occasions, accusing Hamas of using them for military purposes, and have repeatedly bombed the encampments.
