DOHA, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) — Al Jazeera on Monday condemned the killing of five of its employees by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the channel described the attack as “yet another blatant and deliberate attack on press freedom.”
“This attack comes amid the catastrophic consequences of the ongoing Israeli offensive on Gaza, which has resulted in the merciless massacre of civilians, forced starvation and the destruction of entire communities,” the statement said, holding Israeli forces and the government responsible for the “deliberate targeting and killing” of journalists.
The channel stressed that the attack on its correspondents was “a desperate attempt to silence the voices exposing the impending takeover and occupation of Gaza.”
Al Jazeera called on the international community and all relevant organizations to take decisive action to stop the “ongoing genocide” and put an end to the deliberate attacks on journalists.
The channel said the Israeli army killed five of its correspondents on Sunday when it attacked their tent outside the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. The IDF said one of those killed was affiliated with Hamas. –0–
