In a statement, the agency said, the number of journalists killed in the Israeli attack that started on October 7 last year has reached 158.
The official media office in Gaza has been saying since the beginning that Israeli forces are deliberately attacking Palestinian journalists so that the crimes committed are not revealed.
The New York-based NGO “International Committee to Protect Journalists” said that “the war in Gaza was the bloodiest for journalists” since 1992. From that year they started documenting the killing of journalists.
The Washington-based organization “International Center for Journalists” reported last February that the war in Gaza has seen the most violence against journalists in the last 30 years. The organization called on Israel to stop killing journalists. Besides, they also requested to investigate the cause of death of the journalists who were killed in the attack.
More than 38,000 people have died in Gaza so far due to the attacks of the occupying Israeli forces. Most of them are women and children. Mediation countries are trying to broker a cease-fire agreement between Hamas and Israel to end the eight-month-long war.
