The movement said in a statement: "The assassination of journalist Walaa al-Jabari and her entire family in an airstrike represents a new crime against Palestinian journalists, perpetrated by the occupation army, which is devoid of all human values, as part of a policy of systematically targeting journalists and attempting to terrorize them and deter them from carrying out their professional mission."
The movement called on "international press organizations to fulfill their professional and humanitarian responsibilities in exposing the widespread violations against Palestinian journalists."
She explained that "the occupation has killed more than 230 journalists since the beginning of this brutal genocide," calling for "intervention to protect them, activate the prosecution of the occupation's terrorist leaders before international courts, and hold them accountable for their crimes against journalists protected under international humanitarian law."
On Wednesday morning, the Israeli occupation forces killed journalist Al-Jaabari, her husband, her children, and her unborn child in an airstrike in southern Gaza City.
A medical source at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City reported that "journalist Walaa al-Jaabari, her husband Fadi al-Shaer, her four children and her unborn child were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting their home in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood." The source added that "eight martyrs, including journalist al-Jaabari and her family, arrived at Al-Shifa Hospital in disarray after the Al-Shaer family home was bombed."
Fetuses were not spared from the Israeli war of extermination, as the violent Israeli raid resulted in the fetus of journalist Jabari being expelled from her womb and dying immediately.
Activists in Gaza circulated gruesome footage of journalist Jabari's children and her unborn child being pulled from the rubble of their bombed home.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Government Media Office in Gaza announced that the number of journalist martyrs in the Strip had risen to 231, following the deaths of journalists Tamer al-Za'anin, Walaa al-Jabari, and their five children by Israeli fire. The statement explained: "The number of journalist martyrs has risen to 231 since the beginning of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip."
On Monday, journalist Al-Za'anin was martyred after being shot by Israeli forces during the kidnapping of Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, director of field hospitals in Gaza, in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip. The kidnapping occurred following an infiltration attempt by an Israeli special forces unit, according to local sources.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a war of genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
The US-backed genocide left more than 202,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 9,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons and a famine that claimed the lives of many.
Aid entry
In a related context, Hebrew media reported that Hamas is demanding that aid be delivered within the framework of the United Nations, without the presence of the so-called "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation," and with a smaller buffer zone than Israel seeks, as part of the Doha talks.
Channel 12 quoted an unnamed Israeli source familiar with the details of the negotiations on Wednesday as saying: “The meeting held last night in Doha between the Qatari and Egyptian delegations and Hamas representatives ended without results.” The source claimed that “the mediators rejected Hamas’s response during the meeting, considering it not good, and demanded that it present a new and better response today.” There was no immediate comment from Hamas or the mediators on the matter.
The source also claimed that the mediators refused to convey Hamas's response to Israel, continuing their allegations: "Before submitting the response, the mediators informed Hamas that they expected a positive response, with minor improvements, but that is not what actually happened. The response submitted did not contribute to reaching an agreement, and Hamas was asked to make substantial improvements."
According to the same source, Hamas's response included "a demand for humanitarian aid to be delivered within the framework of the United Nations, without the presence of the American institution, a smaller buffer zone than Israel desires, the release of a larger number of Palestinian prisoners than stipulated in the proposal for each hostage released, more specific guarantees for the end of the war, and the return of Gaza residents to Gaza via the Rafah crossing."
On Saturday, a Palestinian source revealed that Hamas had received new maps from mediators showing the areas of Israeli control in the Gaza Strip and had begun studying them as part of the ceasefire and prisoner exchange negotiations.
Hamas said on Monday that it was continuing consultations with Palestinian factions to reach an "honorable agreement" that would lead to "a halt to the aggression, the achievement of the Palestinian people's goals of reconstruction, the lifting of the siege, and ensuring a dignified life for the people of Gaza."
Over the course of more than 21 months, several rounds of indirect negotiations were held between Israel and Hamas, mediated by Egypt and Qatar and supported by the United States.
During this period, two partial agreements were reached, the first in November 2023, and the second in January 2025. Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, evaded completing the latter agreement and resumed the war of extermination in Gaza on March 18.
Hamas has repeatedly affirmed its willingness to release Israeli prisoners "in one batch" in exchange for an end to the genocide and the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from Gaza.
The Israeli opposition asserts that Netanyahu is seeking partial deals that would allow the war to continue, thus ensuring his continued rule by accommodating the most extreme right-wing faction in his government.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has waged a genocidal war in Gaza, leaving more than 200,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 9,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons and a famine that has claimed the lives of many.
