 According to a report by Reuters, the two journalists, who work for the Knight Ridder newspaper, were seized by assailants who stopped their car near the town of Khan Yunis and took them away at gunpoint, their Palestinian translator, Ziad Abu Mustafa.
Some Palestinian unofficial sources said, the assailants could be unemployed people who claim to be members of an armed group called the ‘Black Panther.’
Several journalists have been kidnapped in the Gaza Strip in the past few months, but those are the first to be kidnapped after the Israeli army pulled out of the Gaza Strip.
None of the Palestinian resistance groups claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.
