The Government Media Office in Gaza announced on Sunday an increase in the number of journalist martyrs to 110 since the beginning of the genocidal war launched by "Israel" on the Gaza Strip after journalists Hamza Wael al-Dahdouh, Mustafa Thuraya, and Ali Salem Abu Ajwa were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Strip.

Two journalists were killed today by "Israel" in the #Gaza Strip, raising the death toll of journalists killed by the occupation since October 7 to 109.

Local sources reported that an Israeli drone launched a missile toward the vehicle that Hamza Wael al-Dahdouh (29 years old), the son of veteran war correspondent Wael al-Dahdouh, and Mustafa Thuraya were in, resulting in their martyrdom.

'Deliberate Zionist war crime'

In a statement, Hamas declared that the targeting of journalists Hamza al-Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya is a deliberate Zionist war crime, aiming to terrorize journalists and prevent them from conveying the truth and covering their humanitarian crimes in the Gaza Strip.

This comes as the occupation continues to target media and journalist crews in the Gaza Strip, in its ongoing attempts to obscure facts, conceal the truth, and prevent the reporting and documentation of its aggression and massacres.

Journalists in the Gaza Strip face significant risks, particularly as they attempt to cover the events of the ongoing aggression, Israeli airstrikes, communication cuts, shortage of supplies, and widespread power outages.
