Last night, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate condemned the Israeli occupation forces’ targeting of fellow journalists while they were doing their work covering the occupation’s violations against our people in the Gaza Strip.

Journalist Ashraf Abu Amra was injured in the hand by a direct gas bomb while working east of Khan Yunis, which required him to enter the operating room. A number of journalists also suffocated with poisonous gas.

The union called on international human rights institutions to put pressure on the occupation authorities to stop their attacks on journalists, and to prosecute them for their ongoing crimes.
