Israeli Missiles Kill Syrian TV Anchor

Israeli warplanes kill three people in an attack on Damascus, Monday night, it is being reported on news websites and trending on the social media.

One of those killed was Safa Ahmad who worked in the Syrian state television in a attack that hit the Mezzeh neighborhood in Damascus.

The International Federation of Journalists condemned the attack on the female journalist. It stated on its website that it joins with its affiliate, the Syrian Journalists’ Union (SJU) in condemning “the heinous killing, and reiterates that the perpetrators of the deadliest conflict for journalists must be tried before the International Criminal Court, as international law requires that journalists are considered civilians and combatants are obliged to ensure their safety.”

The Syrian capital was subjected to three missile strikes, Monday night, and the death of the anchor was subsequently reported by her employer, the Syrian State Television.

This war has been deadly for journalists. On 24 September Hadi Sayed and Kamel Karaki were killed in Lebanon whilst on 30 September Wafaa Al Udaini was killed in Gaza, making her journalist number 174 to be targeted and killed in the Strip.
