Another Palestinian journalist killed in Israeli attack on Gaza
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) — Another Palestinian journalist has been killed in an Israeli attack in the central Gaza Strip, the Gaza government media office said.
In a statement, the media office said Palestinian photojournalist Omar Salah Al-Derawi was killed in an Israeli bombing targeting his home in the Al-Zawaida area, central Gaza, killing him along with his parents. Derawi had been working with several news agencies.
The new fatality brought the total number of Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip to 202 since October 7, 2023, it added.
The Media Office condemned the targeting of Palestinian journalists, describing it as a “systematic effort to kill and assassinate” media professionals.
It called on the international community and organizations dedicated to press freedom to denounce these acts and pursue accountability for Israel in international courts.
The Israeli army has continued a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed more than 45,500 victims, mostly women and children, since October 7, 2023, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
In November 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
