Since the start of its aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have systematically and deliberately escalated their targeting of Palestinian journalists in order to prevent any attempt to expose their crimes against unarmed civilians.
In the ongoing genocide, an appalling number of 169 journalists have fallen victim to the merciless bombings by the occupation’s warplanes, most recently was the journalist Ibrahim Marwan Muharab, when the IOF targeted a group of journalists near Hamad City, northwest of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Since October 7, the Israeli occupation launched relentless assault on Gaza that has resulted in a catastrophic death toll. Countless more remain trapped under the debris of residences obliterated by the occupation’s aerial bombardments.
This aggressive onslaught by Israeli occupation forces against Gaza starkly breaches international humanitarian law and human rights standards, imperiling civilian lives, including those of journalists and media workers, and inflicting profound distress and suffering upon them.
The Israeli occupation’s heinous crimes against journalists call for urgent action by the international community and human rights bodies to pursue and hold accountable the Israeli occupation apparatus for these egregious crimes.
