Gaza: The number of Palestinian journalist martyrs has risen to 216 since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, 2023.
According to Qatar News Agency, in a statement on Thursday, the Government Media Office in Gaza announced that journalist Hassan Marzouq Samour was killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted him and his family members east of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip. The office voiced its strong condemnation of the occupation’s killing and assassination of Palestinian journalists.
During its aggression on Gaza, the occupation forces deliberately targeted journalists and media outlets, destroying the headquarters of most local and international organizations operating in the Strip. They also forced all local radio stations to close due to displacement and the lack of essential journalistic resources, particularly electricity and internet access.
