Palestinian Journalists Syndicate: Number of martyred journalists rises to (212)
The number of Palestinian journalists martyred as a result of the Zionist genocide in the Gaza Strip has risen to (212) journalists, both male and female, following the martyrdom of Yahya Subaih and Nour al-Din Abdo in the Strip on Wednesday.
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said in a statement that this is a deliberate targeting aimed at breaking the voice of truth and silencing the Palestinian narrative through the policy of field executions of journalists, destroying media institutions, and depriving the world of witnessing what is happening in Gaza.
It explained that "at a time when the world is celebrating World Press Freedom Day, and the slogan of protecting journalists and preserving freedom of expression is being raised, the Israeli enemy continues to commit its heinous crimes against Palestinian journalists, who are paying with their lives for conveying the truth and exposing the occupation's ongoing crimes against our people in the Gaza Strip."
The Syndicate mourns with deep sorrow and grief the martyrdom of two colleagues: journalist Yahya Subaih, who was killed in a direct Israeli airstrike on the Thai restaurant west of Gaza City, just hours after the birth of his first child, and journalist Nour al-Din Abdo, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting al-Karama School in the al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City while carrying out his professional and humanitarian duty of covering events.
The Syndicate affirmed that this repeated and systematic targeting of journalists constitutes a full-fledged war crime under international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions, holding the occupation fully responsible for these flagrant violations.
It called on the international community, the Security Council, and the International Criminal Court to take immediate action to open urgent investigations, hold the perpetrators of these crimes accountable, and end the policy of impunity that encourages the enemy to persist in its crimes.
The Syndicate continued in its statement: 'On World Press Freedom Day, which is supposed to be an occasion to promote the protection of journalists and freedom of expression, the Palestinian journalist is paying with his life because he chose to be a voice for the victims and an image of the truth.
We call on all free journalists and media institutions in the world to stand with their colleagues in Palestine, raise their voices loudly against the crimes of the Israeli enemy, and support the Palestinian media, which is facing the aggression with an unbreakable will and a lens that does not neglect.'

Thailand Accuses Cambodia of 'Serious Violation' of Truce
Bangkok - Saba: Thailand accused Cambodia on Wednesday of committing a "serious violation" of the ceasefire agreement reached between the two sides to halt border fighting, asserting that Cambodian forces "launched a nighttime attack with small arms and grenades." The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement: "This represents a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement," adding that "this aggressive act constitutes yet another clear violation of the ceasefire agreement by Cambodian forces and demonstrates their lack of good faith." Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced on Monday that, following negotiations in Kuala Lumpur, Thailand and Cambodia had agreed to a ceasefire, which will take effect at midnight local time. At the same time, the two sides discussed other steps to de-escalate the border conflict. Clashes erupted between the two sides for five days over several ancient temples in disputed areas along their 800-kilometer border. Relations between the two countries deteriorated sharply following clashes on May 28 along a disputed section of the border, in which a Cambodian soldier was killed.
