A Palestinian man working for a local news agency in the Gaza Strip was killed on Wednesday night by an Israeli strike on a car full of journalists, according to multiple reports from the war-torn region.

Hamdi Shihab, who was apparently working as a driver for news agency Media 24, was killed in a car marked "TV."

Reporters said that other journalists were also injured in the attack:

Shihab was one of dozens of Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli strikes in the last few days, as violence intensifies following weeks of mounting tension between the two sides. Meanwhile, Hamas has sent scores of rockets into Israel.
