A new documentary on the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh reveals that Israeli soldiers use her photo for target practice. This exposes the Israeli mentality that journalists are "fair game", and that the killing of journalists in Gaza is no accident. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/israe…

Israeli forces killed Palestinian journalist Nour Abdu in a strike on Al-Karama School in Gaza City, which also killed at least 15 others. Israeli attacks have killed over 200 journalists, marking the deadliest assault on the press in modern history.

Mondoweiss’s statement on the murder of Palestinian journalist Hassan Eslayeh On April 7, Israel bombed a journalists’ tent outside Nasser Hospital, burning several people alive and killing Palestinian journalist Ahmad Mansour. Among the survivors was Hassan Eslayeh, the beloved Gaza journalist known for his utmost professionalism and for being a reliable source of news inside Gaza. Hassan was severely burned and lost two fingers in the bombing. On that same day, the Israeli army said that Hassan was the target of the attack, claiming he was a Hamas fighter operating “under the guise of a journalist.” Israel was lying — the same way it has lied about the countless other journalists it killed in cold blood. Hassan Eslayeh’s work with Mondoweiss has been invaluable for our Gaza coverage. Hassan often provided us with vital testimonies and interviews that helped expose the truth of Israel’s genocidal war. After the first attempt on Hassan’s life, Tareq Hajjaj, our Gaza Correspondent, spoke to him as he was recovering in the hospital. “It would not be difficult for the [Israeli] occupation to assassinate me again,” Hassan told Tareq. “They may target me inside the hospital, in this room of mine. What can I do?” Today, Israel killed Hassan, exactly as he had predicted. The army struck Nasser Hospital’s burn unit, where Hassan was still recovering from his injuries. Hassan knew that he was a walking target. He, more than most, was aware of the war that Israel is waging on Palestinian journalists - one that has never been seen in modern warfare. And the reason is simple: Israel knows that Palestinian journalists are the only ones in the world bearing witness to one of the greatest crimes of our time. And as one of the most influential and well-connected journalists in Gaza, Hassan Eslayeh held in his hands the documentation of the extermination of an entire society. People and nations around the world are increasingly rejecting Israeli propaganda justifying Hassan’s murder, and the murder of every Palestinian journalist by Israeli forces. Palestinian journalists are being assassinated in their homes, out in the field, and in the case of Hassan, even in their hospital beds. It is our duty, and the moral and ethical obligation of all journalists and media institutions around the world to condemn these blatant war crimes and the targeting of our colleagues. We leave you with the words Hassan told us over the phone before he died, sadly prophetic, but ringing true today and tomorrow: “If the Israeli army kills me, the photos I took and the stories I told the world will live on. My name, my cause, and my voice will live on — and the occupation will die.”
