Will Israeli Stop Murdering Gaza Journalists?

Palestinian journalist Muhammed Abd Rabbou was killed, Tuesday evening, along with his sister when the Israelis bombed their home in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central area of Gaza. 

Videoclips show bereaved Palestinians and his relatives painfully bid farewell to the slain journalist who was killed in a direct Israeli airstrike on his sister’s home.

The Gaza Government Media Office said Israeli forces have killed 172 media workers and wounded 186 others in Gaza and the occupied West Bank since 7 October, 2023. This is while some 51 others have been arrested.

Photojournalist Abed Rabo ascended to martyrdom following an airstrike that targeted an apartment belonging to the Abu Dalal family in the Nusseirat camp market in the central #Gaza Strip one blogger wrote.

A few days before Israeli warplanes bombarded the home of prominent Palestinian political analyst Arafat Abu Zaied in Khan Yunis, killing him along with two of his children.

About 60 media and human rights organizations have called on the European Union to freeze its association agreement with Israel and implement targeted sanctions, condemning Israel for “massacring journalists” in Gaza.

They noted that more than 130 Palestinian journalists have been killed in the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza, and that the killing of journalists, whether deliberate or reckless, constitutes a war crime.
