Rabat – In his latest attack, Israeli occupying forces (IOF) killed Nine Palestinians, including journalists and volunteers who are connected to the Al-Khair Foundation registered by Great Britain. According to the foundation, eight of their team members were deliberately hit, while they documented their auxiliary measures during Ramadan in Beit Lahia, Northern Gaza.
As expected, the IOF issued its usual justification and claimed that it had “operated two terrorists with a drone that was a threat to Israeli troops”. The explanation also claimed that additional “terrorists” later called up the drone equipment and entered a vehicle, which the IOF prompted to strike.
Head of the Al-Khair Foundation, Qasim Rashid Ahmad, contested The unfounded terrorist allegations against his late team members and explained that they had set up tents in the region to create advertising content for their work.
Ahmad said that the cameraman was hit when he returned to the car, which caused the team to get his rescue when they were also met by an Israeli drone that had followed them.
The Palestinian journalist syndicate identified the fallen media workers: Video editor Bilal Abu Matar, cameraman Mahmoud al-Sarraj as well as Bilal Aqila and Mahmoud Asleem.
The syndicate also urged Israel to systematically indicate Palestinian journalists – a protected group under international law – that this is reinforced for his long list of war crimes in Gaza.
In May 2024, Human Rights Watch reported that Israel had carried out air strikes against at least eight convoys and work areas for auxiliary workers since October 2023, even though they made their coordinates available to the Israeli authorities for protection.
At least 178 journalists from Israel have been killed since October 7, Production 2024 The deadliest year for media experts since the start of the recording of these atrocities.
