WATCH: Anderson Cooper Ducks More Explosions In Gaza

Journalists found themselves once again caught up in the ongoing violence in Gaza on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

The media has become increasingly affected by the fighting between Hamas and Israel, as a series of Israeli air strikes have targeted buildings housing journalists and killed several in their cars (Israel claims it is targeting Hamas personnel).

The offices of Al Jazeera and the Associated Press were also damaged by nearby strikes.

Later that night, multiple explosions struck very near to hotels where many international journalists are staying. Twitter lit up with the shaken reactions of reporters from around the world:
