The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has condemned the targeted killing of six Palestinian journalists in an Israeli airstrike, labelling it as 'murder'. The term, carefully chosen, reflects allegations that Israeli forces deliberately attacked media workers.
Israeli authorities claim the strike targeted Anas al-Sharif, accused of leading a Hamas cell. Despite scant evidence, such accusations raise significant concerns about the safety and freedom of journalists in conflict zones.
With 190 media workers killed since early October, this conflict has become the deadliest for journalists in recent history. Calls for access to Gaza for international media persist, emphasizing the critical role of press freedom in global policy debates.
