Israel Wounds Journalists in Attack on Gaza Media

HeadlineNov 19, 2012

In addition to attacking civilian homes, Israel has also targeted Palestinian media. On Sunday, six Palestinian journalists were wounded when Israeli missiles slammed into the Gaza offices of the Hamas TV station, Al Aqsa, and the Lebanon-based Al Quds TV. A number of international media outlets, including Fox News, CBS and Sky News, have used studios in the targeted buildings. One of the victims lost his leg. Reporters Without Borders has condemned the attacks as “war crimes.” At a protest in the West Bank, a Palestinian government spokesperson denounced the targeting of journalists.

Nour Odeh: “There are more than 300 Israeli attacks registered against the Palestinian journalists. We lost more than 20 colleagues in past years because of the Israeli occupation. Today the message (from the Israeli strike) is clear against the freedom of journalism and opinions.”
