Medical and media sources in Gaza announced that six journalists were killed, after a direct bombing targeting a tent for reporters near Al -Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, late last night.
The martyrs journalists are: Anas Al -Sharif and Muhammad Qureiqa, and the photojournalists Ibrahim Zahir, Moamen Eliwa, Muhammad Nofal and the journalist Muhammad Al -Khalidi.
The high death toll from journalists
With the assassination of the six journalists, the number of journalists who have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the war began to 238, according to the Journalists Syndicate. The director of Al -Shifa Medical Complex stressed that the targeted tent was known to everyone as dedicated to the media, noting that this targeting comes within the framework of attempts to conceal what is going on in the sector.
Warnings of the absence of the truth
The director of the complex said: “I am afraid that the inhabitants of Gaza will die in silence without anyone hearing them,” in light of the deliberate targeting of journalists, who threatens to transfer events away from the eyes of the world, and prepares for new massacres.
Calls for international action
The Media Office called on the International Federation of Journalists, the Union of Arab Journalists, and human rights organizations to condemn the targeting and work to hold those responsible accountable. The UN headine of freedom of opinion and expression confirmed that what was killed by journalists in Gaza exceeds any other conflict, and that “the occupation army is trying to kill the truth, but it will not succeed.”
Democratic journalistic assembly position
The Democratic Press Assembly held the Israeli army fully responsible for the incident, considering that it is a continuation of systematic crimes against the free press, and aims to hide the suffering of the Palestinians. He stated that the two honorable martyrs and Qureqa were subjected to months ago to Israeli incitement campaigns.
