Gaza: Four journalists and their families were martyred in a new crime committed by the Israeli occupation against journalists. According to National Iraqi News Agency, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate reported the martyrdom of journalist Nour Qandil, her husband, journalist Khaled Abu Saif, and their daughter, after Israeli aircraft targeted their home in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. In Bir al-Na'ja, in the northern Gaza Strip, the occupation assassinated photographer Aziz al-Hajjar, along with his wife and children. In the town of al-Qarara, in the south, journalist Abdul Rahman Tawfiq al-Abadlah was martyred. The Journalists Syndicate confirmed that the number of journalists martyred in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the aggression has exceeded all known figures in modern times, an unprecedented precedent in contemporary history, both in terms of the number of martyrs and the brutality of the direct targeting of their families and homes. The Syndicate called on the International Criminal Court to assume its legal and moral responsibilities and expedite the issuance of arrest warrants for the Israeli occupation leaders involved in the deliberate killing of Palestinian journalists, their families, and their homes. It described this systematic targeting of journalists as a fully-fledged war crime, requiring immediate prosecution and trial before international justice. The killers must not escape punishment, and the innocent blood of journalists must not remain mere numbers in cold-blooded UN reports. The Syndicate held the Israeli occupation fully and directly responsible for these heinous crimes, stressing that targeting journalists and their families is a terrorist act and a crime against humanity that will not go unpunished. It also warned that the silence of the international community and human rights organizations, along with the inaction of UN institutions, constitutes clear complicity with the Israeli entity and gives the killer further green light to perpetrate massacres agai nst the free press.
