Israeli occupation kills five journalists in Gaza, bringing tally to 237

RAMALLAH, Aug 11 (KUNA) -- The Israeli occupation's war machine killed five Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip, bringing the total of news personnel covering the genocidal war to 237, said a media source on Monday.
The Gaza media office said in a press statement that Al-Jazeera network correspondent Anas Al-Sharif and his colleagues were targeted by the Israeli occupation military while residing in their tent near Al-Shifa hospital.
The assault resulted in the injury of several other journalists, it added.
The office insisted that the targeting of journalists in the Gaza Strip was intended to suppress the coverage of the war crimes committed by the Israeli occupation, calling on regional and international news outlets and organizations to condemn this heinous crime against the freedom of speech and journalism.
