A doctor believed to be the last remaining orthopaedic surgeon in northern Gaza has been killed by Israeli tankfire, according to Palestinian officials.
Dr Sayeed Joudeh died on Thursday while he was on his way to work.
He was a surgeon at Kamal Adwan and al-Awda hospitals in northern Gaza.
The Israeli military said it was unaware of the incident, but it was investigating.
Last month speaking at a press conference at the Kamal Adwan Hospital, he held up a placard that read "Save US".
It didn't work.
"On his way to al-Awda Hospital to evaluate a patient, one of the tanks fired on him directly," according to Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital.
"Unfortunately, he was killed instantly.
TVNL Comment: Israel has become the Nazi regime of the 21st Century. I say this as a child of the European Holocaust who was born under Hitler, and escaped with my family to the safety of the United States.
