A Palestine TV news anchor and a reporter broke down on air after learning their colleague was killed in an explosion in Gaza.
Mohammad Abu Hatab, a reporter for Palestine TV, died with members of his family in an Israeli strike on his home in Khan Younis, the broadcaster said.
Colleague Salman Al-Bashir learned about the killing while reporting live from outside Nasser Hospital.
"These shields and these helmets will not protect us, they are just slogans that we wear," he said, removing his protective gear.
At least 27 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza, according to the Palestinian journalists' union, since the Israel-Gaza war began.
When questioned about Mohammad Abu Hatab's death, Israel's military said it does not target journalists.

..."The outlet, citing the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency, reports that Abu Hattab was killed along with his family in an Israeli airstrike on their home in southern Gaza.
"We are leaving one after the other, without anyone caring about us, nor about the extent of the disaster that we are all living through in Gaza," al-Bashir said in the footage (translated by The Guardian) while reporting live from the ground. The on-camera news anchor can be seen wiping away tears as he speaks.
