The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip announced, Saturday evening, that the number of Palestinian journalists killed rose to 188.
It produced the latest total after announcing the martyrdom of four journalists killed in the genocidal war committed by Israel on the people of Gaza since 7 October, 2023.
According to the government office, the martyred journalists included “Al-Zahraa and Ahmed Mohammed Abu Sakhil, who work for the News Media Network,” and were killed earlier on Saturday, in an Israeli bombing that targeted a shelter center in Gaza City.
The other journalists are “Mustafa and Abdul Rahman Khader Bahr,” who worked for the Aajil Palestine Agency (local), where the first was martyred near the Kuwait roundabout south of Gaza City, while the second was a photographer in the Al-Karama neighborhood northwest of Gaza City.
The government media office condemned “the occupation’s targeting, killing and assassination of Palestinian journalists.”
The office held “Israel fully responsible for committing this crime,” calling on the international community to pressure “to stop the crime of killing and assassinating journalists.”
It also called on the international community and international organizations to “deter the occupation and prosecute it in international courts for its ongoing crimes and pressure it to stop the crime of genocide.”
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, with absolute American support, leaving more than 146,000 martyrs, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and elderly people, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
