The number of journalists killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip since October 7 has risen to 165, following the deaths of Al-Jazeera’s Correspondent Ismail Al-Ghoul and cameraman Rami Al-Rifi in an Israeli strike near the home of the late Ismail Haniyeh in Al-Shati refugee camp.
The Gaza Government Media Office strongly condemns the Israeli occupation’s targeting and killing of Palestinian journalists, holding them fully accountable for this “heinous crime,” according to their statement.
The airstrike that killed Al-Ghoul and Al-Rifi, which occurred on Wednesday, marks another tragic incident in the ongoing conflict, as journalists on the ground continue to face extreme danger while covering the situation in Gaza.
This incident follows the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran, further intensifying the volatile situation in Gaza.
