192 Journalists killed in Gaza War

The Palestinian Information Office recently reported the death of a Palestinian journalist, stating that since the beginning of the war in Gaza, 192 journalists have lost their lives. The report highlights the ongoing dangers faced by journalists in conflict zones.

On Monday, December 2, Palestinian officials in Gaza confirmed that journalist Maysara Ahmed Salah, working for Quds News Network, was injured by gunfire from Israeli forces. Despite being critically wounded, Salah died after Israeli soldiers prevented his transfer to a hospital for treatment.

According to reports, Salah was shot in the head and abdomen while covering news at Al-Harthani School. He was initially transferred to Kamal Adwan Hospital. Although he urgently needed surgery, Israeli forces blocked his transfer to Al-Shifa Hospital, located in the central-western part of Gaza City. As a result, he succumbed to his injuries.

Palestinian authorities stated that since the start of the Israeli military campaign against Gaza residents, 192 journalists have been killed. This continues to raise concerns about the safety of journalists working in conflict zones, particularly in Gaza.

The Gaza government’s Information Office strongly condemned the attacks on Palestinian journalists, describing them as a war crime.

They called on the international community and relevant organizations to exert pressure to stop these crimes and to hold Israeli officials accountable in the International Criminal Court.

The killing of journalists like Maysara Ahmed Salah underscores the dangers journalists face while reporting in conflict zones. It highlights the urgent need for protection for media personnel working in such high-risk environments.

The international community must respond more forcefully to ensure the safety of journalists and press freedom in conflict areas. Pressure must be applied to prevent further loss of life and to hold accountable those responsible for targeting media workers.
