Over 200 journalists killed since October 2023
At least 211 Palestinian reporters have been slain in Israeli assaults in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, local authorities say.
The Israeli military renewed a fatal attack on Gaza on March 18 and has killed close to 1,400 individuals, wounded more than 3,400 others, and destroyed a January ceasefire and prisoner swap deal in the enclave.
Benjamin Netanyahu vows to intensify operations
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week promised to raise the level of attacks on Gaza as plans are in place to carry out US President Donald Trump’s plan of displacing Palestinians from the enclave.
More than 50,700 Palestinians were killed in Gaza in a fierce Israeli attack since October 2023, where the majority were women and children.
The International Criminal Court issued warrants for Netanyahu and his then Defense Minister Yoav Gallant last November for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also has a case of genocide at the International Court of Justice for waging war against the enclave.
