GAZA, (PIC)
The Government Media Office (GMO) in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that the number of journalist martyrs has risen to 173, since the beginning of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.
The GMO said in a press release that the number of journalist martyrs increased following the death of colleague journalist Abdullah Shakshak, who worked with several Arab media outlets.
It condemned the targeting and killing of Palestinian journalists by the Israeli occupation army, holding it fully responsible for committing this heinous crime.
The GMO called on the international community and relevant international organizations involved in journalism worldwide to deter Israel and pursue it at international courts for its ongoing crimes, and to pressure it to stop the genocide and the killing and assassination of Palestinian journalists.
Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on the Gaza Strip, on land, sea, and air, since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 41,206 citizens and injuries to 95,337 others, in a non-final tally, as thousands of victims remain under the rubble.
