Israel Kills Journalist No 160 in Gaza

Israeli occupation forces kill another journalist in another massacre in a UN-run school in the Nuseirat refugee camp, Tuesday.

Mohammad Meshmesh was a program director at the Al Aqsa Voice radio, and his name is trending. He becomes journalist number 160 in the Gaza Strip to have been killed in Gaza since the Israeli onslaught on Gaza since 7 October.

The latest strikes on the UNRWA school resulted in the death of at least 23 displaced Palestinians who are mostly women and children sheltering in the school. He was killed with his son Baraa.

“I have known my colleague since 2006 with him being a broadcaster and presenter of programs and news coverage on voice of Al Aqsa Radio. He was one of the best mannered people, a voice that spoke the truth and left a great impact on generations that used to follow Al Aqsa Radio,” said Yunis Abu Jarad.  

“Our loss is great with the martyrdom of our colleagues, one knight after the other but it is the price of freedom, independence and living in dignity and without occupation for Abu Al Baraa believed and expressed his opinion on air and in front of all people,” he concluded.

“The wounded voice of Gaza. Generations have grown up with your voice and your radio programs on Al-Aqsa Radio. You resisted with your voice and before with your body. You were injured in defense of the central region at the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, and you continued your journey,” Mohammad Al Najjar wrote.

“Muhammad was not an ordinary young man, a creative man who thought outside the box, proclaimed the truth, and wrote continuously on societal issues. He was a support for the resistance. We are saddened by his loss, and woe to Gaza for what it has lost…” he added.

More than 38,700 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 89,000 injured, since Israel started its war on Gaza after 7 October, 2023.
