The Palestine Media Forum condemned Israel’s killing of journalist Ahmed Al-Shayah, who works as a correspondent, editor and producer with several media outlets, in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Yunis Governorate in the southern Gaza Strip.
His death brings to 205 the number of journalists killed by Israel in Gaza since October 2023, it added.
Al-Sayah was killed after Israel targeted a food distribution in Al-Mawasi.

The media body condemned the international silence and inability to protect Palestinian journalists and allow them to carry out their professional duty in accordance with international laws and humanitarian charters.
The Government Media Office also condemned in the strongest terms the targeting, killing and assassination of Palestinian journalists by the Israeli occupation, calling on the International Federation of Journalists, the Federation of Arab Journalists and all journalistic bodies to condemn these systematic crimes against Palestinian journalists and media professionals in the Gaza Strip.
