Gaza: Palestinian Journalist Adam Abu Herbid has fallen martyr, taking the total number of journalists killed in Gaza since the start of the Israeli occupation forces war to 232, Gaza's government media office said on Friday. In a statement, the office deplored the systematic targeting and assassination of reporters by the Israeli forces, calling on the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the Federation of Arab Journalists, as well as all media bodies in the world, to condemn all organized crimes against Palestinian reporters and media people in the Strip.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Abu Herbid was killed on Thursday by Israeli aircraft bombing of his family's tent in Yarmouk, central Gaza. Palestine news agency (Wafa) quoted medical sources as saying.
Meanwhile, Palestine's press syndicate stated that targeting systematically and categorically journalists is a full crime and a flagrant violation of all international norms and laws, topped with the UN Security Council Resolution 2222.
The Israeli occupation has committed terrible massacres against journalists since the start of its war on Gaza, aiming to eradicate truth and petrify media people, it added. The press syndicate urged the international community and human rights institutions to immediately take action to hold accountable the Israeli leaders for their crimes.
