more than 270 media workers have been killed in Gaza since the start of the “war” in October 2023, making it the deadliest conflict for journalists ever. https://t.co/x2Fnif8fSk
Calls for justice and accountability were also prominent. “When will accountability come? When will their suffering end?” one user asked, while another emphasized the importance of keeping his work alive. “They targeted him so we can stop seeing his videos on our timelines. We must repost them every day so they don't kill him here too.”

Several posts drew attention to the ongoing dangers in Gaza, even after ceasefires. “Ceasefires alone don’t protect the truth tellers in Gaza or any Palestinian from the Zionist death cult. Zionism must cease for the safety of Palestinians to be guaranteed,” wrote one user. Another added, “So there's no stop to their viciousness? They ended the war but they keep on assassinating people?”

So there's no stop to their viciousness? They ended the war but they keep on assassinating people? Just because we're not killing+1000 it's okay to fire a few shots at the remainings? https://t.co/ZPQdl0N3Hy
