Gaza Bleeds: Israel Kills Another Palestinian Journalist
(MENAFN) A Palestinian journalist was killed Sunday in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City, marking the death of 247 media workers since the conflict began, the Gaza Media Office reported.
The deceased was Islam Abed, a correspondent for Al-Quds Today TV.
The Gaza Media Office condemned the attack, calling it part of a "systematic" campaign targeting Palestinian journalists. It called on the international community to intervene urgently to halt these killings and ensure the protection of media personnel.
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate also condemned Abed’s death, branding Israel’s actions “a stain of shame that will haunt the killers of truth and a full-fledged war crime added to the occupation’s long record of violations against journalists.”
The syndicate held Israel “fully responsible for the killing of colleague Islam Abed and all other media professionals martyred while performing their professional duty.” It urged global human rights and media organizations to take “urgent and effective action to hold Israeli leaders accountable for their ongoing crimes against Palestinian journalism.”
Since October 2023, Israel’s military offensive has killed nearly 63,500 Palestinians in Gaza, leaving the territory devastated and on the brink of famine.
In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza.
Israel is also facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice related to its military campaign in the enclave.
