Gaza, MINA – The Gaza Government Media Office (GMO) announced on Wednesday that the number of Palestinian journalists killed since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza has risen to 256, following the death of reporter Mohammad al-Munirawi of Palestine newspaper.
In a statement, the GMO condemned what it described as the systematic targeting and assassination of journalists by Israeli occupation forces, calling it a deliberate attempt to silence the truth and erase evidence of war crimes in Gaza.
The office urged the International Federation of Journalists, the Federation of Arab Journalists, and global press unions to denounce what it termed “premeditated crimes” against the press, warning that continued silence would only embolden further attacks on media professionals.
The GMO also held Israel, along with the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and other European partners, fully responsible for the ongoing killings and violations against journalists in Gaza.
