"More than 270 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched a genocidal war against Palestinians in the territory on October 7, 2023, in response to Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel. This represents one of the bloodiest periods for journalists in modern history, reflecting the scale of the deliberate targeting of Palestinian journalism in an attempt to silence the voice of truth and prevent the documentation of the crimes and violations committed against the Palestinian people."
"Shamali, who was killed on Monday, also worked with several Arab and local media outlets and was among the journalists who continued performing their media mission despite the ongoing assault and war on the Gaza Strip, the PJS said in a statement."
"Targeting journalists will not succeed in breaking the will of the Palestinian journalistic community or deterring it from fulfilling its professional and humanitarian mission of conveying the truth and documenting the crimes and aggression faced by the Palestinian people."
Amal Shamali, a correspondent for Qatar Radio who also worked with multiple Arab and local media outlets, was killed in an Israeli air strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate confirmed her death and noted she continued her journalistic work despite the ongoing conflict. Over 270 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, marking one of the deadliest periods for journalists in modern history. The PJS characterized this as deliberate targeting of Palestinian journalism to silence reporting on alleged crimes and violations. Gaza's Government Media Office condemned the systematic killing of journalists and held Israel, the U.S., and allied nations responsible for the deaths.
