Artist who depicted war in Gaza killed in Israeli air strike
A Palestinian artist who depicted the war in Gaza has been killed in an Israeli air strike.
Mahasen al-Khateeb used her talent in illustration and character design to document the horrors of Israel's war on Gaza since it erupted last October.
On Saturday, she posted her last artwork, depicting the 19-year-old Shaban al-Dalu, who was burned to death during the Israeli bombing of al-Aqsa Hospital a few days ago.
Shortly afterwards, she was killed in an Israeli air strike that targeted her neighbourhood in Jabalia camp in northern Gaza.
Mahasen and her family were at home when the attack happened. In a Facebook post, she shared that there was no safe place left in Gaza to escape to, having already evacuated multiple times with death constantly looming.
