Khaled Al Madhoun, a Palestinian cameraman for Palestine TV, was killed in North Gaza while covering the Israeli Army’s shooting at hungry civilians waiting for aid.
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said Al Madhoun was killed while performing his professional duties, condemning the targeting of journalists as a persistent crime aimed at silencing Palestinian voices and obscuring the truth. It emphasized that such attacks would not break the resolve of Palestinian media workers who continue their mission despite grave risks.
According to figures from Gaza’s Government Media Office, the number of Palestinian journalists killed by Israeli forces has risen to 240. Among the most recent victims were Al Jazeera correspondents Anas Al Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqa, along with four of their colleagues, before Al Madhoun’s death.
The syndicate called on the international community to condemn these killings, pursue legal action against Israeli officials, and exert pressure to halt what it described as ongoing acts of extermination and to ensure the protection of Palestinian journalists.
