New journalist targeted
In this context, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate announced the martyrdom of journalist Khaled Al-Madhoun, a cameraman for the official Palestine TV, following a direct attack by Israeli occupation forces while covering events in the Zikim area in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Syndicate affirmed that targeting journalists represents an ongoing crime by the occupation aimed at obscuring the truth and silencing the Palestinian voice, emphasizing that Palestinian journalists continue to fulfill their mission despite the risks.
With Al-Madhoun's martyrdom, the number of Palestinian journalists killed since the beginning of the Israeli war of extermination has risen to 240. On August 10, the occupation assassinated six other journalists in an airstrike that targeted their tent near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
Despite international warnings, the occupation continues to target journalists inside Gaza, bombing, capturing, or threatening them. Observers consider this an attempt to silence journalists, who Tel Aviv considers a disgraceful exposure of the genocide it is committing in the Strip.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, leaving 62,622 Palestinians dead, 157,673 injured, most of them children and women, more than 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and a famine that has claimed the lives of 281 people, including 114 children.
