Wafaa Ali Abed Rabboh Al-Adini, her husband Munir Attia Darwish Al-Adini, and their two children Tamim and Balsam, were killed after the bombing of their home in central Gaza.

In a statement, the Palestinian Media Forum (PMF) pointed out Israeli warplanes killed a media activist who was in the forefront of conveying the Palestinian narrative and story to the foreign media, adding the family were killed as a result of a treacherous Israeli bombardment according to the Palestine Information Center.

The forum stated journalist Al-Adini devoted her life and efforts through working with the international media via writing articles, dialogue and interaction with foreign activists, online conferences, photo exhibitions, and short film competitions to explain the Palestinian story.

The PFM continued with the martyrdom of this prominent media figure the national media has lost a free voice for Palestine and its people struggling for freedom and self-determination.

The Palestinian Media Forum stressed the continuation of the message and media coverage, no matter how great the sacrifices and challenges, indicating that the deliberate Israeli targeting of Palestinian journalists will not weaken their resolve or divert their compass from Palestine.

The PMF renewed its call for the protection of journalists in Gaza whilst allowing them to perform their professional duties in accordance with international laws and humanitarian charters, and called for holding the Israeli occupation accountable for its ongoing crimes against Palestinian journalists.
