According to a report from the Media Monitoring and Follow-up Unit at the Government Media Office in Gaza, seven journalists have been martyred in the Gaza Strip since the commencement of Operation Aqsa Typhoone Saturday.

The journalists were identified as Ibrahim Lafi, Mohammad Jarghoun, Mohammad Al-Salehi, Asaad Shamlakh, Saeed Al-Taweel, Mohammad Rezq Sobh , and Hisham Al-Nawajha.

The unit stated Tuesday that it has documented dozens of Israeli Occupation attacks on journalists and media outlets.

More than 10 journalists have been injured to varying degrees, and contact has been lost with two colleagues, Nadal Al-Wahidi and Haitham Abdulwahid.

According to the Media Monitoring and Follow-up Unit, the homes of journalists Rami Al-Sharafi and Basel Khair Al-Deen have been targeted and completely demolished.

Numerous journalists' residences have suffered partial damage, while the headquarters of many media institutions have been affected both partially and completely due to the shelling of residential buildings and towers, including the Palestine and "Watan" towers.

Over 40 media office locations have been identified as damaged, according to the unit.

The unit also reaffirmed the professional and national duty of Palestinian journalists and media outlets in covering the developments of the Israeli Occupation aggression.

It pledged to exert even greater efforts to expose the Israeli Occupation's crimes and debunk its false claims.

The unit condemned the crimes of the Israeli Occupation and called for the formation of an international investigative committee.

Additionally, it urged relevant institutions safeguarding media freedom to expel the occupier's membership as a proactive step in light of these committed atrocities.
