The Journalists Syndicate said that the Israeli occupation committed hundreds of crimes and serious violations against journalists and media outlets in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, including the martyrdom, wounding and loss of dozens of them, the destruction of their homes and their families, and the destruction of media headquarters.

It explained in a report issued today, Wednesday, that 75 journalists and workers in the media sector were killed, about 80 journalists were injured, and two journalists went missing, while the occupation bombed the homes of the families of 60 journalists, destroyed the headquarters of 63 institutions and press offices, and disrupted the work of 25 local radio stations (24 in Gaza and one in the West Bank), 3 media outlets were closed and restricted, and 43 journalists were arrested, including 41 in the West Bank and two in Gaza, where 30 of them are still in detention, and most of them have been transferred to administrative detention.

The union confirmed in a statement that it is making all its efforts on two levels: the first is to provide what it can of steadfastness and life and the continuation of the work of journalists in the Gaza Strip and to pump out the facts, and the second is to lead the international effort to stop the war of genocide and target journalists and provide protection for them as an urgent mission, and establish the accountability and punishment of the leaders of the occupation. In international courts.

The Syndicate expressed its pride in the journalists who continue their work, while death and brutality surround them from every side, and stressed that the narrative of truth and justice will not disappear, and that the voice of Palestine will remain loud and sublime and will triumph over the machine of killing and aggression.

The Journalists Syndicate considered the statements about the lack of evidence that the occupation intentionally targeted journalists in the genocidal war on Gaza as further evidence of full partnership in the ongoing crime against our people and our journalists, which is an attempt to pass on the occupation’s false narrative that is refuted by the facts on the ground.
