Mohamed Jasser, a journalist for the Palestine newspaper, was martyred on Saturday, as a result of the Israeli occupation targeting his house in the Gaza Strip, as part of the genocidal war waged by Israel against the Gaza Strip.
A medical source at Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip said: “Journalist Mohamed Jasser was martyred along with his wife and two children in an Israeli raid that targeted their house in the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip.”
The Palestinian Wafa Agency quoted local sources as saying that the occupation aircraft targeted the journalist’s house in Jabalia camp with heavy missiles, which led to the martyrdom of journalist Mohamed Jasser and all his family members, and their bodies were all transferred to Kamal Adwan Hospital.
The Qatar Press Center (QPC) renewed its condemnation of the Israeli occupation forces targeting journalists in Gaza with killing and abuse, the latest of which was the killing of Palestinian journalist Mohamed Jasser and all members of his family.
The QPC denounced the Israeli army’s targeting of journalists’ families, homes, and locations inside Gaza, which is a blatant violation of international law and a heinous crime to silence free media and obstruct its transmission of the truth to the world.
The QPC called on the international community to condemn the targeting of journalists in Gaza by bombing their homes and the homes of their families, in addition to arrest and intimidation.
QPC also called for putting pressure on Israel to release detained male and female journalists and media professionals, who are languishing in Israeli prisons, in compelling circumstances, depriving them of the most basic prisoners’ rights stipulated in the international laws and conventions.
With the martyrdom of journalist Jasser, the number of journalist casualties since the beginning of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, on October 7, rises to 161 journalists.
