The Syndicate explained that the violations included four incidents of shooting at press crews, the destruction of three homes belonging to journalists' families, the arrest of four, and the physical assault of five.
The statement also included 25 cases of detention and crews being prevented from covering the events, 11 journalists being exposed to toxic tear gas, threats, incitement, insults, home raids, and the trial and arrest of journalists.
The Syndicate stressed the "need to provide protection for Palestinian journalists, amid the ongoing targeting and persecution."
She pointed out that "the Israeli occupation regime has persisted in killing with missiles and all forms of gunpowder, leading to the martyrdom of three fellow journalists in the Gaza Strip over the past month."
She reported that "the number of journalists killed by the occupation since the beginning of the aggression in October 2023 until the end of April 2025 has reached 212 martyrs, both male and female."
On Thursday, the Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip announced in a statement that "the number of journalist martyrs since the beginning of the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip has risen to 217, following the martyrdom of journalist Ahmed Anwar Abdel Hadi Al-Helou, who worked in design and editing for the Quds News Network."
The office condemned "Israel's systematic targeting, killing, and assassination of Palestinian journalists," and called on human rights and journalistic organizations around the world to "condemn these systematic crimes against journalists in Gaza."
The office later announced the death of journalist Hassan Samour during an Israeli bombardment that targeted him and his family in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with full American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, leaving approximately 173,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
