Number of journalists killed in Gaza increases

Ramala, Dec 15 (Prensa Latina) The Israeli army has killed 195 journalists and workers in the sector in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war there in October 2023, the authorities of the enclave reported today.

The Government Media Office in the territory specified in a statement that the last victim was Muhammad Jabr Al-Qarinawi, who worked as an editor at the Sanad news agency.

The organization condemned the attacks against Palestinian communicators and called on the international community to act immediately to protect the inhabitants of the Strip.

The objective of such attacks against the sector is to silence any other narrative that could challenge the Israeli version, recently estimated Shorouk Al-Asaad, member of the general secretariat of the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate.

In statements to the daily Al Quds, the reporter for Radio Monte Carlo International said that the objective is to intimidate journalists.

According to the union, in the first 12 months of the war, the Army carried out 1,600 attacks against journalists and the media in the occupied territories.

Days ago, the writer and analyst Suleiman Bsharat stressed that any threat that exposes the falsehood of the Israeli narrative becomes a direct target.

Journalist Murad Al-Sabaa made a similar statement, saying that the neighboring country is pursuing a strategy to prevent the publication of facts that document its crimes in the Strip and Lebanon.

Since the beginning of its operations in Gaza, the Army has also attacked dozens of headquarters of union institutions, including the offices of Al Jazeera, Palestine TV, the Maan news agency, as well as the newspapers Al Quds and Al Ayyam.

This year, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization awarded Palestinian journalists covering the conflict the Guillermo Cano Prize in recognition of their work.
