An Italian Journalist Killed in Gaza

Simone Camilli an Italian journalist of The Associated Press (AP) was killed in Gaza, along with three bomb disposal experts and his local Palestinian translator Ali Shehda Abu Afash.

Government officials reported that an Israeli bomb has killed the journalist and the other parties.

A bomb disposal unit was diffusing a bomb when the accidental explosion happened. Over a thousand unexploded bombs, missiles and rockets were reported to be recovered by the units since July, when the political battle began.

The press crew were said to set out a report about unexploded bombs, missiles and rocket remains that the conflict in Gaza had left. As they were gathering information for their report an undiffused bomb unexpectedly exploded.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been on and off for more than a month. Countless innocent lives in Gaza suffered the consequences of the war between the two countries, which are currently attempting to reach an enduring ceasefire settlement.

Reportedly, an ongoing truce has been laid out and a temporary cease fire was posted. But unfortunately, the remains of the bombing has left people not only homeless but in a dangerous minefield.

Reporters and journalists were told to be on alert and to take extra precaution on the streets of Gaza while a temporary truce between the parties are posted. Countless lives ended even after the truce has been made.

Camilli was 35 when the incident happened, and he had been raising his three-year-old daughter with his longtime partner Ylva van den Berg. A photojournalist and a videographer, Camilli captured striking photos of bomb explosions that has been used by most researchers, according to the New York Times.
