Israeli forces killed Ayman Rafati, a political analyst in Gaza and a frequent guest on Al Jazeera, along with his wife and children.

The news was reported by Palestinian media outlets as well as Ramy Abdu, head of the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.

Israel has been accused of deliberately targeting scholars, journalists and writers, with one of the most well-known examples being Refaat Alareer, a Palestinian poet who was killed in an Israeli air strike.
