The Ministry of External Affairs on Wednesday condemned the killing of five journalists in Gaza during an Israeli strike on a hospital. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India was aware of the investigation launched by Israeli authorities into the incident.
Responding to queries on the deaths in Khan Younis, Jaiswal said, “The killing of journalists is shocking and deeply regrettable. India has always condemned loss of civilian lives in conflict. We understand that the Israeli authorities have already instituted an investigation.”
