Since October 7th, the Israeli occupation army has been waging a destructive war on Gaza, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, as well as extensive damage to the region’s infrastructure.
The Israeli aggression on Gaza constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and human rights, endangering the lives of civilians, including journalists and media personnel, and causing them immense suffering.
The crimes committed by the occupation against journalists necessitate action from the international community and human rights organizations to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for these atrocities.
