<h2>Journalists are among the main targets of the Israeli army, said Huda Hegazi, teleSUR correspondent in the Strip.</h2>
<p>On Monday, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) confirmed that
Palestinian journalists and media outlets have suffered 1,600 attacks
in the past 12 months. </p>

<p>Since October 2023, the number of journalists killed in Gaza and
Lebanon by Israeli occupation forces has reached 175, a figure that
surpassed the number of journalist killings since 1992, according to the
Committee to Protect Journalists.</p>
<p>According to the Gaza Government Press Office, 175 media workers were
killed between October 7, 2023, and October 4, 2024. Additionally,
Palestinian authorities are investigating 130 cases of alleged killings,
detentions, or injuries.</p>
<p>On Sunday, dozens of people gathered in central Ramallah, called
together by the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, to denounce the
crimes committed by Israeli forces. Among the most recent crimes was the
killing of journalist Hassan Hamad, who died in a bombing at the
Jabalia refugee camp. Human rights defenders have documented 514 victims
within the families of journalists, 124 journalists detained, and
dozens of reporters injured, some of whom lost their sight or suffered
amputations.</p>

<p>“Journalists, especially media correspondents, are among the main
targets of the Zionist army,” said Huda Hegazi, the teleSUR
correspondent in the Gaza Strip. “We have spent 365 days covering the
Israeli genocides day after day and going through the same hardships as
the rest of the people in Gaza,” she stated, adding that the past year
has been one of the most difficult in her personal and professional
life.</p>
<p>At times, she has found herself without shelter, food, water, or a
bathroom. She has also spent a year separated from her family, who are
in the northern Gaza Strip, while she traveled to various southern
regions, such as Deir al-Balah, Rafah, and Khan Younis.</p>
<p>“As a woman, it has been difficult to live. At first, I had no place
to take shelter and spent seven months sleeping in a car. Now I live in a
very small tent. Nevertheless, I have always had one goal: not to give
up, to keep covering the Israeli atrocities, and to show the world what
Israel is doing in the Gaza Strip. That’s why I keep going, but my wish
is for this war to end as soon as possible,” Hegazi stressed, recalling
that the Israeli army has been cutting communications for several weeks
to hinder the work of journalists.</p>
