The number of journalists who have been martyred since the beginning of the Israeli occupation's aggression on the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7 has risen to 170.
The Government Media Office in Gaza affirmed in a statement that following the martyrdom of journalist Hamza Abdulrahman Murtaja in an airstrike targeting Mustafa Hafez School in western Gaza City, the number of martyred journalists has risen to 170 since the start of the genocide war on the Gaza Strip.
The statement called on the international community and relevant international organizations in the field of journalism worldwide to deter the Israeli occupation and prosecute it in international courts for its ongoing crimes, and to pressure it to stop the genocide and the crime of killing and assassinating Palestinian journalists.
Israeli occupation aircraft bombed a school sheltering hundreds of displaced people in Gaza City on Tuesday, leading to the martyrdom of 12 Palestinians and the injury of dozens, most of them children. Rescue teams retrieved several bodies of the martyrs, while they were unable to retrieve others due to the collapse of the school building during rescue attempts.
The occupation's intense, comprehensive, and unprecedented aggression on the Gaza Strip has continued for more than ten months, with dozens of air raids and shelling by land and sea, resulting in tens of thousands of martyrs, wounded, and missing persons, causing massive destruction to infrastructure and vital facilities, and leading to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe in the strip due to the halt of food, water, medicine, and fuel supplies because.
