This Friday morning, a group of journalists mourned the body of fellow journalist and Palestine TV correspondent, the martyr Muhammad Abu Hatab, in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.

A group of journalists participated in the funeral, led by the Deputy Head of the Journalists Syndicate, Tahseen Al-Astal, the General Director of Palestine TV in the southern governorates, Raafat Al-Qudra, representatives of the Fatah movement, and a number of the martyr’s relatives.

In his memorial speech for the martyr Abu Hatab, Al-Astal stressed the importance of providing international protection to journalists as they work to expose the crimes of the occupation that target children and civilians.

He stressed the need for the international community to take action to stop the brutal massacres committed by the occupation forces against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip.

Al-Astal urged the international community to stop the crimes against journalists and the massacres committed against our people, which amount to war crimes, expressing his dissatisfaction with the international silence and the failure to take strict measures to curb this aggression and leave defenseless civilians to face a frightening fate.

For their part, the participants called on the entire international community to take immediate action to cease fire to protect civilians from the brutal attack they are being subjected to.

The participants performed the funeral prayer for the martyr Abu Hatab before his body was buried.

Yesterday, Israeli occupation aircraft bombed Abu Hatab's house, leading to his death along with a number of his family members.

According to the latest statistics, the number of martyred journalists since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has reached 28 journalists.
