PNN – The union of Palestinian journalists announced that the Zionist regime has deliberately killed journalists to prevent the publication of real information about Gaza.
According to Pakistan News Network, the Palestinian news agency “Wafa” quoted the trade union of Palestinian journalists as saying: Reporters in the Gaza Strip face the risk of death and live in dire conditions. Their families are also in danger and hundreds of people have been killed in airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.
This union, which is a member of the International Federation of Journalists, reported that the Zionist regime not only kills Palestinian journalists to stop the news coverage of the events in Gaza, but also tries to justify this killing by raising false accusations and reduce its international consequences.
According to the data published by this union, since the beginning of the new war in Gaza, 112 Palestinian journalists have been martyred in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier, the international organization “Reporters Without Borders” announced that the security forces of the Zionist regime have detained 38 Palestinian journalists since the beginning of the Gaza war, and 31 of these journalists are still in captivity. According to this organization, the current unprecedented wave of arrests of journalists “in the Gaza Strip is clearly aimed at silencing the Palestinian media.”
Also, the “Committee to Protect Journalists” recently reported that more than 70 journalists were martyred in the new war in Gaza. The Guardian newspaper wrote in a report about this: Thus, the current war in Gaza has been the bloodiest conflict for journalists in the past decades. Meanwhile, some sources have announced the number of journalist martyrs of the Gaza war to be more than 100.
This committee has stated that the scale and circumstances of the killing of journalists, including direct threats to them and their families by the Zionist authorities, show that Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip are being deliberately targeted. Thus, this work is a war crime, and Al Jazeera also asked the International Criminal Court to investigate the intentional killing of journalists in its investigation of violations of the Geneva Convention by the Zionist regime in Gaza.
The Guardian report states: Journalists know that reporting from war zones is fraught with danger; Both those who go to war zones to cover the news of war and those like Palestinian journalists who have had an unwanted war imposed on them in their homeland.
The Guardian report states: The truth is that in the literature of Israeli leaders, targeting journalists is a legitimate thing for Israeli soldiers. In their statements, Israeli politicians have called for the “removal” of a number of Palestinian journalists who, according to a pro-Israel group in America, directly collaborated with the Palestinian resistance movement in the October 7 attack. Benny Gantz, a member of the Israeli war cabinet, also said that these journalists were “terrorists” and should be killed!
