This morning, Monday, Israeli occupation forces committed a horrific and hideous massacre against Palestinian journalists while they were sheltering in a tent in the courtyard of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.

The Journalists Syndicate condemned this horrific massacre, in which a journalist was killed as a result of the bombing of the tent, which caught fire. The nine injured journalists, Ahmed Mansour, Hassan Islayh, Ahmed Agha, Mohammed Fayek, Abdullah Al-Attar, Ihab Al-Bardini, Mahmoud Awad, Majed Qadih, and Ali Islayh, remain in critical condition.

The union stressed its demand that the UN Security Council act quickly and issue a resolution to halt all these massacres and the genocidal war to which all our people, including journalists, are being subjected.

The union called on the International Criminal Court to swiftly address the cases and complaints filed with the court against Israeli war criminals, most notably the internationally wanted Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the leaders of his army and security institutions.

The Syndicate called on all human rights organizations, media freedom and freedom of expression organizations worldwide, and all media institutions to expose the massacres and slaughters to which Palestinian journalists are being subjected, which are the most horrific in the history of media.

She stressed that she will continue to file complaints and exert pressure through all legal and union means to ensure that these criminal killers do not escape punishment for the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against Palestinian journalists.
