Al Jazeera Denounces Gaza Strike That Killed Its Correspondent
In a statement issued Wednesday, Al Jazeera Media Network said it “strongly condemns the heinous crime of targeting and killing Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent, Mohammed Wishah.”
“This constitutes a new and flagrant violation of all international laws and norms, and reflects a continued systematic policy of targeting journalists and silencing the voice of truth,” the network added.
The statement continued: “As Al Jazeera mourns its correspondent Mohammed Wishah, who joined the Network in 2018, it affirms that his killing was not a random act but a deliberate and targeted crime intended to intimidate journalists and prevent them from carrying out their professional duties.”
Al Jazeera’s Ibrahim al-Khalili, reporting from Gaza City, noted that Wishah’s death on a main road underscores the deteriorating conditions on the ground amid ongoing Israeli breaches of the ceasefire.
According to the Gaza Government Media Office, the killing reflects a “systematic targeting and assassination” of Palestinian journalists by Israel. The office added that the Israeli military has committed roughly 2,000 violations since the ceasefire took effect.
