Five Palestinian journalists were killed in the past 12 hours due to intensive Israeli airstrikes targeting various areas in the Gaza Strip, including Gaza City and the Nuseirat refugee camp.
The massacred journalists included:
- Saadi Madoukh, Director of Deep Shot Media Production CompanyA
- Adeeb Sukkar, Media Specialist at Deep Shot Media Production Company
- Amjad Jahjoh, Journalist at Palestine Media Agency
- Wafaa Abu Dhabaan, wife of Amjad, Program Host at Islamic University Radio in Gaza
- Rizq Abu IShkiyan, Journalist at Palestine Media Agency
Journalist Amjad Jahjoh, his wife Wafaa Abu Dhabaan, and their child were killed on Saturday morning in an airstrike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, sources told Days of Palestine. Journalist Rizq was killed in the same raid too.
On Friday, journalists Saadi Madoukh and Adeeb Sukkar were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the Madoukh family home in the Al-Sahaba neighborhood of Gaza City.
With the murder of these five journalists, the total number of Palestinian journalists killed since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza on October 7 has risen to 158, according to the Government Media Office.
Deadliest War for Gaza Journalists
The Center for the Protection of Palestinian Journalists condemned the killing of journalists Saadi Madoukh and Adeeb Sukkar in the Al-Daraj neighborhood of Gaza. The center noted that their deaths occurred just one day after the killing of Al-Quds TV journalist Mohammed Al-Sakani in a similar airstrike on his family home in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City.
The center emphasized that the current conflict has become the most deadly for Palestinian journalists in modern history. It called for an independent and comprehensive international investigation into Israeli crimes against journalists.
Data from the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) indicates that the war on Gaza is now the deadliest for journalists since the organization began documenting journalist killings worldwide in 1992.
