In a statement on Tuesday, the Al-Aqsa local radio announced that journalist Mohammed Al-Bardaweel and his family were killed in the airstrike on their apartment in Khan Younis. "The criminal Israeli occupation army, by targeting Palestinian journalists, is desperately trying to silence the Palestinian narrative and obscure the truth," the statement said. The Gaza-based Government Media Office condemned Israel's killing of the journalist and his family, calling on the international community, including global press organizations, to denounce Israel's systematic targeting of Palestinian journalists and pursue legal action through international courts. Al-Bardaweel's death brought the number of Palestinian journalists killed in Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023, to 209, the media office also said. Israel began a surprise aerial campaign on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has killed more than 1,000 people and injured over 2,000 others since then, shattering a January ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas. More than 50,300 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in Israel's military onslaught since October 2023, most of them women and children. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
