Five journalists die in Gaza: an attack shocked the world!

In a tragic turn of events, five journalists were killed in an Israeli air raid in Nuseirat, Gaza, early Thursday morning. According to reports from the television broadcaster Al Quds Today TV, the vehicle, which transported the journalists and was marked with the word "Press" in red writing, was near the Al AWDA hospital when it was hit. This incident underlines the extreme dangers to which media professionals are exposed to the current conflict, who has already demanded 141 journalist life, as can be seen from the information of the committee for the protection of journalists, which has been documenting the number of journalists killed since 1992.

The Israeli military spokesman claimed that the Air Force had carried out a "precise" operation against a "terrorist cell" of the Islamic jihad, but there was further details and a direct statement on the reports of the Palestinian media. Internationally recognized news agencies reported on a charred white van, which was seen in a photo of Reuters with rising smoke. The killing attacks are considered in the context of a conflict that has been going on since October 7 of last year, which caused an "unprecedented" burden for journalists, the committee evaluated the situation to protect journalists.

The Israeli defense forces have emphasized that they have taken "numerous steps" to reduce the risk of civilians before the attack was carried out. Nevertheless, international press organizations have exerted massive pressure on the Israeli forces to ensure the protection of journalists in conflict situations. In the past, as in the case of six reporters of Al Jazeera, journalists were accused of being involved in fighting, which further fueled the discussion about the limits of the lawful goal in the war, as The New York Times reported.
