Vedant Patel, the Deputy Spokesperson of the US State Department, told reporters on Monday local time about the Al Jazeera reporter who was captured by Israel that we asked Israel for information and clarification regarding the reports that the Al Jazeera reporter was captured during the attack on al-Shafa Hospital.
On Monday, Israeli soldiers beat Al-Jazeera reporter Ismail al-Ghul inside the city’s medical complex and then captured him.
Also, Qatar’s Al Jazeera network demanded the immediate release of Ismail al-Ghul, the reporter of this news network, who was arrested by Israeli forces during the Israeli army’s attack on the Shefa hospital in Gaza.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, the UN Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression and Opinion, “Ireen Khan” also said that it is shocking to see this kind of treatment of the Zionist regime’s soldiers with Gaza journalists.
He added: Israel’s [regime] ignores the rules of international law regarding dealing with journalists in Gaza.
On October 7, 2023, the Palestinian resistance groups launched the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation from Gaza against the positions of the Israeli regime, and finally, on November 24, 2023, a four-day temporary ceasefire was established between Israel and Hamas, or the pause for the exchange of prisoners between Hamas and Israel.
This pause in the war continued for 7 days, and finally on the morning of Friday, December 1, 2023, the temporary ceasefire ended and the Israeli regime resumed attacks against Gaza. In order to retaliate for the surprise attacks of the “Al-Aqsa storm” and to compensate for its failure and stop the resistance operations, this regime has closed all the crossings of the Gaza Strip and is bombarding this area.
