Four Journalists and Their Families Martyred in Gaza

Four Journalists and Their Families Martyred in Gaza

Amir Hagag
Four journalists and their families, one of whom was lost contact two days ago, were killed in a new crime committed by the Israeli occupation.
The Journalists Syndicate reported the martyrdom of journalist Nour Qandil, a martyr of free speech, her husband, journalist Khaled Abu Saif, and their daughter, after Israeli aircraft targeted their safe home in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
The occupation assassinated photographer Aziz al-Hajjar in Bir al-Na'ja, north of the Gaza Strip, who was martyred along with his wife and children.
In the town of al-Qarara in the south, two days after contact was lost with him, journalist Abdul Rahman Tawfiq al-Abadlah was killed.
The Journalists Syndicate confirmed that the number of journalists martyred in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the aggression has exceeded all known figures in modern times, an unprecedented event in contemporary history, both in terms of the number of martyrs and the brutality of the direct targeting of their families and homes.
No war in recent decades has witnessed such a large amount of bloodshed among camera and microphone carriers, reflecting the clear intent of the occupation to eradicate the truth. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate called on the International Criminal Court to assume its legal and moral responsibilities and expedite the issuance of arrest warrants for the Israeli occupation leaders involved in the deliberate killing of Palestinian journalists and the targeting of their families and homes.
It stated: "This systematic targeting of journalists is a full-fledged war crime that requires immediate prosecution and trial before international justice. The killers must not escape punishment, and the innocent blood of journalists must not remain mere numbers in cold UN reports."
The Syndicate held the Israeli occupation fully and directly responsible for these heinous crimes, stressing that targeting journalists and their families is a terrorist act and a crime against humanity that will not go unpunished.
It also warned that the silence of the international community and human rights organizations, and the inaction of UN institutions, constitutes clear complicity with the executioner and gives the killer further green light to perpetrate massacres against the free press.
She stressed that the blood of the martyrs will not be shed in vain, and that Palestinian journalists will continue their mission, armed with faith, truth, and justice, even if it requires each journalist to carry their own coffin on their back while covering the massacre.

Trump administration threatens new Harvard cuts over Jewish rights - International

The Trump administration on Monday accused Harvard of violating the civil rights of its Jewish and Israeli students and threatened to cut off all federal funding if the university does not take urgent action. Harvard has been at the forefront of Donald Trump's campaign against top US universities after it defied his calls to submit to oversight of its curriculum, staffing, student recruitment and "viewpoint diversity." Trump and his allies claim that Harvard and other prestigious universities are unaccountable bastions of liberal, anti-conservative bias and anti-Semitism. In a letter sent to the president of Harvard, a federal task force accused it of failing to protect the students during campus protests against Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza. Following an investigation, the task force concluded that "Harvard has been in some cases deliberately indifferent, and in others has been a willful participant in anti-Semitic harassment of Jewish students, faculty, and staff," according to the letter. The letter went on to say that the majority of Jewish students at Harvard felt they suffer discrimination on campus, while a quarter felt physically unsafe. "Jewish and Israeli students were assaulted and spit on; they hid their kippahs for fear of being harassed and concealed their Jewish identity from classmates for fear of ostracization," the letter said. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Harvard was in violation of civil rights legislation and "if you break federal law, you should not be receiving federal tax dollars." The school said it strongly disagreed with the government's findings as it "has taken substantive, proactive steps to address the root causes of antisemitism in its community." The Trump administration has also sought to remove Harvard from an electronic student immigration registry and instructed US embassies around the world to deny visas to international students hoping to attend the Massachusetts-based university. Harvard has sued the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies to block the efforts, arguing that they were illegal and unconstitutional and the courts have put those moves on hold for now. International students accounted for 27 percent of total enrollment at Harvard in the 2024-2025 academic year and are a major source of income. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
