Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Sunday decried the killing of journalists by Israeli bombings in the Gaza Strip, SIA reports with reference to foreign media.
“108 journalists have been murdered in the Gaza Strip by bombing in their homes,” Petro wrote on X, following the killing of two more journalists, Hamza Wael Al-Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya, in Israeli attacks.
The two journalists were killed on Sunday as Israeli aircraft hit a vehicle carrying press members on duty in Khan Younis.
The two journalists went to the Gaza Strip on Sunday to document the damage to a house after an Israeli attack in Rafah. On their way back, an Israeli aircraft hit the vehicle carrying press members on duty in Khan Younis. Witnesses told AFP that the car was hit by two Israeli rockets. The second missile fell directly on Dahdouh, who was sitting in the passenger seat. Hasem Rajab, the third journalist in the car, was seriously injured.
The press office of the government in Gaza said that the number of journalists killed in Gaza since the beginning of the Israeli attacks reached 109.
In a statement condemning the Israeli army's attacks on journalists, media units and human rights organizations were called on to condemn the attack and to put pressure on Israel to stop its attacks on the Palestinian people.
Israel has launched air and ground attacks on Gaza following a cross-border incursion by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Oct. 7 last year, killing at least 22,835 Palestinians and injuring more than 58,400 others.
Nearly 1,200 Israelis are believed to have been killed in the Hamas attack.
The Israeli onslaught has left Gaza in ruins, with 60% of the enclave's infrastructure damaged or destroyed and nearly 2 million residents displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicines.
