5 more journalists killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – Five more Palestinian journalists were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, taking their number since last year to 182, the government media office said.
“The number of journalist martyrs has risen to 182 since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza, following the killing of journalists Nadia Al-Sayed, who worked with radio stations and media outlets, and Abdul Rahman Al-Tanani, who worked with Zaman and Sawt Al-Shaab radio stations,” said the media office in a statement.
Earlier, the office identified the slain reporters as Saed Radwan from the local Al-Aqsa TV, Hamza Abu Salmiya from the Sanad News Agency, and Haneen Baroud, who worked for Al-Quds Foundation.
It appealed to the international community and press organizations to intervene “to deter the occupation and pursue it in international courts for its ongoing crimes, and pressure it to stop its ongoing genocide and the killing of Palestinian journalists.”
Israel has continued its war on Gaza despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
It has killed nearly 43,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 100,000 others, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory.
Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
