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.

Five Palestinian journalists were killed at dawn, Thursday, when the Israeli occupation forces bombed their vehicle in the central Gaza Strip.
Local sources said the occupation forces bombed a television broadcast vehicle in front of Al-Awda Hospital in Al-Nuseirat camp, killing five journalists working for Al-Quds Today satellite channel who were inside it.
Al-Quds Today channel announced that five of its journalists were martyred at dawn today in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the channel’s external broadcast vehicle in Al-Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Footage from the scene showed the van engulfed in flames as civil defense teams worked to recover the bodies and extinguish the fire.
The five journalists that were killed by an Israeli targetted strike were Faisal Abu Al-Qumsan, Ayman Al-Jadi, Ibrahim Al-Sheikh Khalil, Fadi Hassouna, and Muhammad Al-Lad’ah, who were killed in a Zionist attack on the external broadcast bus.”
In a statement by the Quds Today satellite channel it added the five were killed “while performing their journalistic and humanitarian duty,” describing the incident as “a crime added to the series of crimes committed by the occupation against Palestinian journalists.”
The Gaza Government Media Office confirmed the number of the journalists has risen to 201 since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on the Strip since 7 October, 2023.
Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif reported al-Jadi was waiting for his wife, who was in labor with their first child, outside the hospital at the time of the attack.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) wrote on X it “is devastated by the reports that five journalists and media workers were killed inside their broadcasting vehicle by an Israeli strike in the Nuseirat Camp,” pointing out that “journalists must always be protected.”
The Israeli occupation army, supported by the United States and Europe, has continued its aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, where its aircraft bombed the vicinity of hospitals, buildings, towers, and homes of Palestinian civilians, destroying them over the heads of their residents, and preventing the entry of water, food, medicine, and fuel.
The aggression left more than 153,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, 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.

Nine Palestinians were killed and more than 50 others injured on Friday in Israeli airstrikes targeting houses and a group of civilians in Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, which has been under assault for 14 consecutive days.
In a statement, Al-Awda Hospital said that three Palestinians were killed and 50 others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a home in Jabalia Camp.
A medical source at Kamal Adwan Hospital confirmed that three Palestinians were killed in another Israeli strike on a gathering of civilians in the Al-Fakhura area of Jabalia.
The civil defense said its rescue teams removed the bodies of three more people killed in an Israeli airstrike on a home in Jabalia, adding that two more were also injured in the strike.
A fire erupted in the house as a result of the airstrike, the civil defense added.
For the 14th consecutive day, the Israeli army has continued its offensive in northern Gaza, focusing on Jabalia and its camp.
The area is under a suffocating siege and constant bombardment, with homes being demolished over their inhabitants.
This is the third ground operation the Israeli army has carried out in Jabalia camp since the start of the ongoing war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023 according to Anadolu.
Israel has continued a brutal offensive on Gaza following a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7 last year, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
At least 42,500 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 99,500 injured, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of Gaza amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.

The Emergency Dept of the Al Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp received a martyr who was nine months pregnant, in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Her house had been bombed by Israeli warplanes but the ambulance managed to get to her and take her to hospital.
She was immediately transferred to the operations department where obstetric surgeons began an urgent operation to open her womb and remove the fetus, which was born alive and was transferred to the nursery department of Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital.
Al Awda Hospital in Nuseirat is the only hospital that provides obstetrics and gynecology services in the Central Governorate of Gaza since the beginning of the genocidal war on the Strip.
Doctors told journalist Hind Khodary the rescue of the baby was a “miracle”.
