Gaza - Saba:
The Islamic Jihad Movement said on Monday that the Israeli enemy army's renewed targeting of journalists and media professionals in the Gaza Strip, including Palestine Today Channel correspondent Mohammed Mansour, who was targeted with his family inside their home in the Gaza Strip, and the martyr Hussam Shabat, along with the targeting of others, is a brutal attack that "reflects a deliberate bloody approach."
The movement affirmed in a statement that these crimes come within the context of an escalation campaign aimed at obscuring the truth and concealing the occupation's crimes, "silencing the free voices documenting the occupation's crimes and brutality against our people. It also represents a direct assassination of eyewitnesses who reveal to the world the atrocities and hateful crimes of the occupation."
Jihad added that targeting journalists is a war crime, and international institutions, foremost among them the United Nations and human rights organizations, bear responsibility for its silence, which emboldens the occupation to commit more crimes.
