The Journalists Syndicate: The occupation committed a new crime by targeting journalist Al-Jaabari and her family.

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said that the Israeli occupation has recorded a new crime in its bloody record by assassinating fellow journalist Walaa al-Jabari, after its aircraft targeted her apartment in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City. This resulted in her martyrdom, along with her husband and children, in a horrifying scene.

In a statement issued Wednesday, the Syndicate affirmed that it views this heinous crime as part of a systematic policy pursued by the Israeli occupation to intimidate journalists, break their pens, and silence their cameras by directly targeting them and their families inside their homes.

She said: "The occupation has crossed all red lines. It is no longer content with killing journalists in the field, but is now deliberately killing them inside their homes and among their children, in an attempt to extinguish the light of truth and subjugate the Palestinian media by force of fire and blood."

The Syndicate held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the martyrdom of colleague Walaa al-Jabari and her family, stressing that these crimes will not intimidate our journalists, but rather will only strengthen their resolve to fulfill their professional and national mission.

She called for these crimes to be referred to the International Criminal Court, considering them full-fledged war crimes. She urged international press and media institutions to break their silence and stand up for the truth, instead of colluding with the killer.

The Journalists Syndicate concluded its statement by saying: "The blood of our colleague Walaa al-Ja'bari and her family will remain a living witness to the occupation's crimes, and proof that the battle was never just over land, but also over awareness, narrative, and truth."
