(MENAFN)Hours after an Israeli strike damaged building in Gaza that has offices of media organizations, the US press leaders urged Israel to halt its raids.
Leadership of National Press Club stated that the strike "was the latest in a series of Israeli military attacks on facilities where journalists have been working to bring to the world the story of the ongoing conflict."
The attack "is part of a pattern this week of Israeli forces destroying buildings in Gaza that house media organizations," according to National Press Club President Lisa Nicole Matthews and National Press Club Journalism Institute President Angela Greiling Keane.
Matthews and Keane further stated that "This trend prompts the question of whether Israeli forces are attacking these facilities to impair independent and accurate coverage of the conflict."
