Iran Press/ West Asia: This comes shortly after broadcaster Palestine TV confirmed that its correspondent had been assassinated alongside his family members in an Israeli strike that targeted his home in Khan Yunis, south of Gaza on November 3.
It's important to note that alongside the tragic loss of journalists' lives in Gaza, Lebanese Reuters reporter Issam Abdullah was killed earlier this month in an Israeli strike on southern Lebanon, which specifically targeted journalists and media professionals covering the Israeli aggression on the Lebanese border towns.
The Prisoners' Information Office has recently reported that journalists Nidal Al-Wahidi and Haitham Abdulwahed from Gaza went missing on October 7 and since then, no information has been revealed about their fate.
According to the office, "the Israeli Supreme Court has rejected an appeal to disclose the fate of journalists Nidal Al-Wahidi and Haitham Abdulwahed."
In response to these developments, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate strongly condemned the ongoing crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people and journalists in Gaza.
Israel has a long history of targeting journalists. The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists has documented 17 confirmed instances of journalists killed in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory since 1992. Of these, 15 journalists have been killed by Israeli fire.
The year 2014, when Israel carried out its last major onslaught against the blockaded Gaza and killed over 2,200 Palestinians, was the bloodiest year for journalists in Palestine.
