BEIJING, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) — China opposes any action that harms civilians and condemns violent acts against journalists, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said Monday.

Lin Jian made the statement in response to a media question regarding reports that five Al Jazeera correspondents were killed in an Israeli airstrike early Monday morning Beijing time, and that 237 journalists have been killed since the start of Israel's massive military operation.

"We express our condolences over the tragic deaths of journalists during the conflict," Lin Jian said.

China calls on Israel to immediately stop military action in Gaza, fully restore access to humanitarian supplies, avoid a wider humanitarian crisis and de-escalate the situation as soon as possible, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman added. –0–
