Palestinian Journalists Syndicate calls for prosecuting occupation for killing of journalist’s father in Gaza

RAMALLAH: The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate tonight called on the International Federation of Journalists to document the assassination of the father of Al-Jazeera correspondent Anas Al-Sharif in the northern Gaza Strip, and to add it to the record of massacres and crimes committed by the occupation, to include it in the crimes file prepared for submission before the International Criminal Court. A press release issued by the Syndicate's Freedoms Committee stated that the committee monitored and documented the threat that Al-Sharif received on November 22, 2023, through phone calls and messages via WhatsApp from occupation officers, threatening him with assassination if he does not stop reporting news on the events taking place in the northern Gaza Strip. Chairman of the Syndicate's Freedoms Committee, Mohammad al-Laham, said that records and documentation indicated dozens of crimes committed by the occupation against journalists, specifically through the targeting of their homes, which have resulted in the killing of hundreds of journalists' family members as an act of revenge committed by the Israeli terrorist government against the professional work of journalists, through which they succeeded in refuting the distortion of facts, lies and falsification to which Israel was accustomed.
