The Palestinian journalists have long known Gaza to be The most dangerous place On the ground for media workers, but created for Israel Attack on a tent housing journalists In Gaza City, she left a lot of shock and fear.

Four of the island’s employees They were among the seven people who were killed in an Israeli plane strike outside the Shiva Hospital on August 10. The Israeli army admitted that the tent was targeted intentionally after making the tent Founding accusations One of these dead, Al -Jazeera journalist Anas Al -Sharif, was a member of Hamas.

The Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed at least 238 media workers since October 2023, according to the government media office in Gaza. This losses are higher than the first and second world wars, the Vietnam War, the War in Afghanistan and the Wars of Yugoslavia combined.

Al -Jazeera correspondent Hani Mahmoud said, “The jackets of journalism and helmets, which were considered a shield one day, are now feeling a target,” said Al -Jazeera correspondent Hani Mahmoud.

“Fear is fixed – and justified,” Mahmoud said. “Every task is accompanied by the same undeclared question: Will it return (1) again alive?”

The United States -based committee was to protect journalists among many organizations that have long condemned the Israeli style of Israel accused of being “terrorists” without reliable evidence.

“It is not a coincidence that the ambitions against the Sharif-who had been informed day and night for the island since the beginning of the war-have been informed of a major development in the war, and recently, Sara Kudah, the regional director that Israel caused in attacking Israel, said.

In light of Israel’s systematic targeting of journalists, media workers in Gaza are forced to make difficult choices.

“As a mother and journalist, I deal with this mental dissonance almost daily, whether I am going to work or staying with my daughters and I am afraid of the indiscriminate shelling of the Israeli occupation army.”

“I used to go to work, and when I did not find anything to eat it, I was only drinking water,” he said. “I did this for two days. I had to live for two or three days on water. This is one of the most difficult challenges we face in this war against our people: hunger.”

“They live in more difficult circumstances than the mind can imagine,” Hassan Abu Dan, journalist and film director, told reporters.

He said: “You live in a tent. You drink the water that is not good for drinking. You eat unhealthy food … We are all, as journalists, confused. There is a part of our lives ruined and went away.”

Mahmoud from Al -Jazeera said that despite the psychological shock and personal dangers, Palestinian journalists continue to perform their jobs, “driven by the belief that documenting the truth is not just a profession, but rather a duty towards their people and their history.”
