Some 160 journalists have now been killed in Gaza since Israel began its genocidal bombing campaign in October, the Government Media Office said yesterday.

The most recent death was that of Mohammad Meshmesh, programmes director at Al-Aqsa Voice Radio.

In a press statement, the media office said: “The number of journalist martyrs has increased to 160 since the start of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, following the martyrdom of our colleague Mohammad Abdullah Meshmesh, Director of Programmes at Al-Aqsa Voice Radio.”

Meshmesh was martyred in an Israeli massacre targeting Al-Razi School in Nuseirat camp, central Gaza, which resulted in 23 martyrs and dozens of injuries.
