Another journalist killed by Israeli forces in Gaza
Israeli forces have killed yet another Palestinian journalist in the Gaza Strip as the regime pushes on with its onslaught on the territory.
On Friday, Gaza’s Government Media Office said the journalist was a local radio broadcaster.
Khaled Abu Zir’s death raised the number of journalists and media workers killed by Israel in Gaza to 184 since October 2023.
The media office called on the international community to hold the regime to account for its crimes against Palestinians, especially journalists.
Last week, Israel killed two journalists. Photojournalist Bilal Rajab was killed when an Israeli airstrike targeted a group of people near the popular Firas Market in the center of Gaza City.
The Israeli army killed Palestinian journalist Baraa Ali Daghish during an airstrike on a house north of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Journalists Protection Center (PJPC) said on Saturday that the Israeli war on the besieged territory has been the deadliest for members of the press than any other conflict over the past eight decades.
The PJPC also said that “the killing has become the main weapon to silence journalists in Gaza.”
The United Nations Secretary-General Antony Guterres slammed the killing of journalists by Israel as unacceptable.
Guterres called for their protection from the genocide that the regime is perpetrating in the blockaded coastal sliver.
He noted that journalists in Gaza have been “killed at a level unseen in any conflict.”
Journalists operating in the Palestinian territory are faced with increased dangers as they report on the conflict amidst Israeli ground assaults and airstrikes, disrupted communications, supply shortages, and power outages.
