Dozens of Palestinian journalists took part in a stand in northern Gaza, Thursday, condemning the Israeli army’s assassination of five of their colleagues in the Nuseirat camp in the middle of the Strip.
Journalists raised banners condemning Israel’s continual targeting of media workers, including “201 journalists killed in cold blood” and that “Coverage will continue”.
Journalist Islam Badr said: “Despite the genocide, now in its 14th month, we will continue to provide coverage because we are the voice of our people, the cause and the land”.
He added: “Coverage will not stop, and the world must move to stop Israel from killing us. We are here to convey the truth”.
Badr pointed out “the assassination of journalists is a crime, and the genocide in Gaza is a crime, and the silent world is a partner in these crimes”.
Journalist Basil Khair al-Din said: “Today we stand before a fully-fledged crime that targets not only journalists, but also seeks to hide the truth from the world in light of the genocide” perpetrated by the Israeli army.
He added: “This crime is part of a series of violations against journalists, with the aim of silencing their voices and silencing their journalistic message”.
He stressed “journalism is not a crime, and Israel’s assassination of journalists will not deter us from performing our national duty to convey the suffering of our people.”
On Thursday morning, five Palestinian journalists were killed in an Israeli attack that targeted the satellite broadcast vehicle of the Al-Quds Today channel, which was in front of Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat, which led to its complete smouldering.
With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 153,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and elderly people, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
Israel continues its massacres, ignoring two arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court on 21 November against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant, for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Palestinians in Gaza according to Anadolu.
