<blockquote>
<h3><span>Israeli forces killed four journalists in Gaza in the last 48
hours, raising the total number of media professionals killed since
October 7 to 158.</span></h3>
</blockquote>
<p><span>Palestinian journalist Amjad Jahjouh was killed on Saturday
morning along with his wife, journalist Wafaa Abu Dabaan, and their
child in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza.</span></p>
<p><span>On Friday evening, Palestinian journalists Saadi Madoukh and
Ahmed Sakr were killed by an Israeli airstrike that targeted the Madoukh
family’s home in the Al-Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City.</span></p>
<p><span>Palestinian sources reported that the bodies of five martyrs were recovered from the rubble of the targeted house.</span></p>
<p><span>Palestinian activists shared a video showing the destruction of
the Madoukh family home and the rescue of martyrs and wounded
individuals.</span></p>
<p><span>Images of the late journalist Saadi Madoukh, holding a camera
on a street in Gaza, were also circulated on Palestinian websites and
social media platforms.</span></p>
<p><span>With the deaths of the four reporters, the number of
Palestinian journalists killed since the start of the Israeli war on the
Gaza Strip on October 7 has reached 158.</span></p>
<p><span>The Palestinian Center for the Protection of Journalists
condemned the killing of the two journalists in the Al-Daraj
neighborhood, noting that their killings occurred just one day after
Al-Quds TV journalist Mohammed Al-Sakani was killed in a similar bombing
of his family’s home in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City.</span></p>
<p><span>In a statement, the center asserted that these ongoing attacks
on Palestinian journalists result from decisions made by Israeli
authorities, aimed at concealing facts and preventing the exposure of
the massacres being committed against civilians in the Gaza Strip.</span></p>
<p><span>The statement described the targeting of Palestinian
journalists in Gaza as the bloodiest in modern history and called for an
independent and comprehensive international investigation into Israeli
crimes against journalists.</span></p>
<h4><strong>Ongoing Genocide</strong></h4>
<p><span>Currently on trial before the International Court of Justice
for genocide against Palestinians, Israel has been waging a devastating
war on Gaza since October 7. </span></p>
<p><span>According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, </span><span>38,098 Palestinians have been killed, and 87,705 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.</span></p>
<p><span>Moreover, at least 11,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip. </span></p>
<p><span>Israel says that 1,200 soldiers and civilians were killed
during the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation on October 7. Israeli media published
reports suggesting that many Israelis were killed on that day by
‘friendly fire’. </span></p>
<p><span>Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.</span></p>
<p><span>The Israeli war has resulted in an acute famine, mostly in
northern Gaza, resulting in the death of many Palestinians, mostly
children. </span></p>
<p><span>The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful
displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip,
with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded
southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become
Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.</span></p>
<p><span>Later in the war, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians began
moving from the south to central Gaza in a constant search for safety.</span></p>
