Palestine TV calls the attack on its journalist “a deliberate assassination” of Abu Hatab, since his house was targeted right after he went back home from covering "Israel’s" atrocities in Gaza.

Broadcaster Palestine TV confirmed that its correspondent has been killed alongside his family members in an Israeli strike that targeted his home in Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.

"Our colleague Mohammed Abu Hatab fell as a martyr along with members of his family in an Israeli strike on his home in Khan Yunis," it said after Palestinian media reports stated the airstrike killed 11 of his family members, including his wife, son, and brother.

The media outlet called the attack “a deliberate assassination” of Abu Hatab, since his house was targeted right after he went back home from covering "Israel’s" atrocities in Gaza.

“It’s a message in blood to terrorize Palestinian journalists to prevent them from reporting on our people’s suffering and exposing Israel’s crimes,” it said in its statement.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and States Broadcasting Union (OSBU) mourned the death of Abu Hatab and his family, and its president, Amr Al-Laithi, condemned the “heinous crime” committed by "Israel".

The OSBU called on civil society organizations and human rights groups to intervene immediately to put an end to "Israel’s" “barbaric, criminal and systematic attacks” against journalists.

Terms and conditions on human rights

The Prisoners' Information Office has reported that journalists Nidal Al-Wahidi and Haitham Abdulwahed from Gaza went missing on October 7 and since then, there is no information has been known about their fate.

According to the office, "the Israeli Supreme Court has rejected an appeal to disclose the fate of journalists Nidal Al-Wahidi and Haitham Abdulwahed."

The toll on Palestinian journalists amid relentless Israeli airstrikes on Gaza has surged, with a tragic count of 24 killed since the 7th of October.

Meanwhile, the Palestine Media Forum, a civil organization dedicated to the affairs of journalists in Gaza, stated that without the slightest regard for international laws, conventions, and humanitarian norms that ensure the protection of journalists in conflict areas, Israeli occupation forces continue their cold-blooded executions of Palestinian media professionals.

In a statement sent to Reuters and Agence France Presse, the Israeli military said it can't guarantee the safety of their journalists operating in the Gaza Strip amid the aggressive and hysterical Israeli bombardment and siege in Gaza for almost three weeks.
