'Israel' killed 204 journalists in Gaza since October 7
In its latest statement, Gaza's Government Media Office revealed that the number of Palestinian journalists killed by "Israel" since October 7, 2023, has risen to 204, with journalist Mohammad Basheer al-Talmas being the latest victim.
According to the office, al-Talmas succumbed to severe injuries sustained during an Israeli airstrike on the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City.
The office strongly condemned the Israeli occupation's deliberate targeting, killing, and assassination of Palestinian journalists. It urged the International Federation of Journalists, the Arab Journalists Union, and global press organizations to denounce these ongoing crimes against media professionals in Gaza.
"We hold the Israeli occupation, the US administration, and the countries complicit in this crime of genocide, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, fully responsible for committing this heinous, brutal crime," the statement declared.
Amid relentless Israeli aggression and widespread destruction, the residents of Gaza are holding their breath in anticipation of a ceasefire announcement, which would bring an end to 15 months of devastating violence and bloodshed.
