RSF: Targeting of journalists in Gaza has become "very common"

Nii after the Israeli army wounded three journalists in yesterday's attack while they were reporting the events north of the Nuseirat camp, in the middle of the Gaza Strip.

Jonathan Dagher, director of the Middle East office of Reporters Without Borders, has said that the attack is terrible and unacceptable.

He added that more than 100 journalists have been killed by Israel in Gaza in the past six months, and stressed the need to stop the "killings," calling on the international community to "increase the pressure" on Israel.

Witnesses of the event have reported that the Israeli artillery attack targeted a group of journalists, while they were reporting the events of the Nuseirat camp, which is witnessing an Israeli military operation.

This is not the first time that the Israeli army has attacked journalists in the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip. 

According to the data of the Government Press Office in Gaza, 140 journalists have been killed as a result of Israeli attacks since the seventh of October last year.
