Iran condemns Israeli killings of journalists as Tel Aviv quashes coverage of crimes.
Iran’s foreign minister says the killing of dozens of journalists in the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon by Israel shows the special role played by reporters in reflecting the regime’s genocidal crimes.
“The martyrdom of tens of journalists and cameramen, including two hard-working Al Mayadeen reporters, in the brutal attacks of the fake Israeli regime in Gaza and southern Lebanon shows the influence and special role that journalists play in reflecting the Israeli regime’s genocide and war crimes and awakening the world’s public opinion,”
"Ayat Khaddura, 27-year-old digital content and podcast presenter in northern Gaza (1st-L), Belal Jadallah, chairman of the Gaza Press House (2nd-L), and Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen journalists Rabih Mehmari and Farah Omar were among the journalist and reporters killed by Israel in recent days".
Two of its TV crew members were "deliberately" targeted by Israeli occupation forces in the hamlet of Tir Harfa, which is around one mile from the southern border, according to a report published on Tuesday by Lebanon's al-Mayadeen television channel. The victims were named by the Beirut-based TV channel as correspondent Farah Omar and camera operator Rabie al-Memari, who were covering the fighting along the border with the occupied territories.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) reported on Tuesday that since Israel began its attack on the Gaza Strip on October 7, at least 53 journalists and media professionals had died. It said that 46 Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese journalists were among the victims.
Additionally, the CPJ reported that since the media organization started keeping count of deaths more than 30 years ago, the last few weeks have been the bloodiest for journalists covering conflicts. Sherif Mansour, the program coordinator for CPJ in the Middle East and North Africa, claimed that Israel is conducting a "news blackout" in Gaza that is intended to win its Western propaganda war by obstructing "essential media coverage" and withholding "lifesaving information."
Israel waged the bloody war on Gaza on October 7 after Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm in the occupied territories in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s incessant crimes against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Since the start of the aggression, the Tel Aviv regime has killed 14,128 Palestinians, including 5,840 children and 3,920 women, and injured at least 33,000 others. It has also imposed a “complete siege” on the coastal sliver, cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
