Palestinian journalists; Fight to the death with the false narratives of the Zionists
Mehr News Agency, International Group, Elnaz Rahmatnejad: 43 weeks It has been since October 7 2023 and the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation. No day of these weeks has been normal. For more than 300 days, our eyes have seen the bombing of Gaza Baptist Hospital, al-Nasr and Hassan Salame schools and the United Nations in Jabalia and the residential areas of Deir al-Balah, Khan Yunis, al-Shaja’iyya, al-Sadra, al-Zaytoun, Rafah, Sheikh Rizwan, and the Palestinian refugee camp al-Nusirat. .
We hear the news of the martyrdom of 500 medical staff members, more than 8,000 Palestinian students and more than 300 athletes, and the conversion of Gaza stadiums into detention centers for holding Palestinian prisoners, malnutrition of pregnant women and Nabob has heard the accumulation of more than 100 thousand tons of garbage in the Gaza Strip.
Our lips about the Zionists’ attack on Al Hodeidah port, the martyrdom of Wissam al-Tawil, Saleh al-Aroori, Haj Abu Nameh, Haj Mohsen, Seyed Razi, Ismail Haniyeh and Wafa Jarar, the free Palestinian lady in Jenin and the protests American universities and Western countries have studied in support of Palestine.
We also write about the martyrdom of Mohammad Emad Labad, a reporter of Al-Rasaleh Media Institute, in the attack of Zionist fighters on the neighborhood of Sheikh Rizwan in Gaza, Mohammad Abu Daqa in Khan Younis, the bombing of Moatasim Ghrab’s house in the Al-Nusirat camp, the attack of drones The Zionist regime has written to the journalists’ tent at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah in the center of the Gaza Strip, and Al-Jazeera reporter Ismail al-Ghul was targeted while preparing a report in front of the destroyed house of Martyr Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas political office in the al-Shati camp in Gaza.
The army of the occupying Al-Quds regime does not differentiate between soldiers and civilians, children and young, old and elderly, men and women, athletes and students, medical staff and journalists in its wars and crimes. . Journalists are civilians who should not be targeted, but this is not the case! Since the members of the media reflect the crimes of this fake regime in Palestine and fight with their false narratives, they are not safe; Media activists and even the media building in Palestine are repeatedly attacked by the Zionist occupation. Their cameras and phones are recorded.
At the same time as the anniversary of the martyrdom of Mahmoud Sarmi and the day of the journalist, we had an opportunity to review and examine the martyrdom of some journalists in the field of resistance by the crimes of the Zionist regime, which This report follows;
Reporters should continue to expose the crimes of Zionists
Muhammad Abdurrahman Abu Obeid, reporter of Al-Alam Network in Gaza, in an interview with Mehr reporter He said: Journalists are targeted by this fake regime because of the transmission of images and killings by the Zionist regime. The assassination and martyrdom of journalists by the Zionists is one of the problems and obstacles we face in the course of media work and journalism.
He continued his speech and said: Every day our morale goes to the verge of collapse due to seeing the scenes of Palestinian genocide by the army of the occupying regime, but we try to maintain it with resistance. . My colleagues and I, as journalists in Gaza, seek to publish and expose the crimes of the occupying Zionists against the Palestinians so that these killings and cruel war stop. We send a message to all journalists in the world to continue publishing and exposing the crimes of the Zionists and publish this issue in international forums.
Let me say, my friend; I don’t know the taste of sleep
A group of Palestinians and journalists were targeted by the Zionist regime near the house of Martyr Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas political bureau, in the Shati camp in the west of Gaza City. Al-Jazeera reporter Ismail al-Ghul was preparing a report in front of the house of Martyr Haniyeh, which was destroyed by the bombing of the Zionists, and he was martyred.
Ismail al-Ghul was arrested before his martyrdom during the attack of Israeli regime soldiers on the Shafa hospital in Gaza City by the soldiers of the army occupying Quds. Before arresting Ismail, the Zionist soldiers severely beat him. According to Al-Ghul, the soldiers of this fake regime kept him and other journalists naked and blindfolded for 12 hours.
Reporter Martyr Ismail Al-Ghul said in a message to his friend: “Let me tell you, my friend, that I don’t know the taste of sleep anymore. The corpses of children and the screams of the wounded and their blood-soaked images do not go away from my eyes. The moans of mothers and the moans of men who miss their loved ones do not cease to be heard by me. I can no longer bear the children’s voices from under the rubble and forget the energy and strength that turns into a nightmare every moment. It is no longer easy for me to stand in front of rows of coffins that are locked and extended, or to see the dead more than the living fighting death under their homes. I am not ashamed to stand in front of the camera and say that I am hungry. Many children ask me for something to eat and they don’t know that I don’t sleep at night because of hunger like them.”
Zina, the daughter of Martyr Ismail Al-Ghul, who will be 9 years old next month, has not seen her father for more than 10 months. He must wait for his father in heaven.
The army of the Zionist regime and its intelligence agencies regarding the martyr Ismail al-Ghul in the Gaza Strip claimed that he was a member of the elite military forces of Hamas and participated in the October 7 attack. In a report, Al Jazeera rejected this claim of the Zionist regime and called it completely false. This network has stated in a statement: “The claim that Ismail al-Ghul was one of the elite military forces affiliated with Hamas is a false accusation and a dangerous provocative action that endangers the health of the forces of this network and the authorities are directly responsible for it. It is the Zionist regime.
In the middle of March, the army and intelligence agencies of the occupying regime arrested Al-Ghul in Al-Shifa Hospital and released him after 12 hours without any explanation. If Ismail al-Ghul, the reporter of this network, is a member of Hamas elite forces and this claim of the occupation is true, why did they release him? It is clear that the authorities of the Zionist regime are trying to justify their crimes with baseless and false claims. These claims and lies are a scandalous attempt to justify targeting journalists in Gaza by the occupiers, so that since the beginning of the Gaza war, 165 journalists and media workers have been killed.”
The martyrdom of a Palestinian American journalist in Jenin
Shirin Abu Aqleh, a reporter of Qatar’s Al Jazeera news channel, was shot dead by Zionist soldiers while covering the scene of the occupation’s attack on the Jenin camp.

On May 11, 2022, he was targeted by the Zionist forces while covering the news of the attack by the occupying Quds forces on the city of Jenin in the West Bank, and was martyred due to a bullet wound to the head. Considering that Shirin Abu Aqleh was an American citizen, the American ambassador in Israel requested an investigation into the manner of his death.
Despite initial reports from Abu Aqla’s colleagues accusing Zionist soldiers, Israel denied responsibility for his death and blamed Palestinian fighters. The fake regime later claimed that he could have been killed by either side, and on September 5 admitted that he was probably accidentally hit by its forces, but refused a criminal investigation.
Abu Aqla, a reporter for Al Jazeera’s Arabic network, was wearing a bulletproof vest and a reporter’s helmet when he was martyred, no Palestinian fighters were near this reporter, and Zionist soldiers were about They were stationed 200 meters away from him, while the Zionists claimed that he was killed by a mistaken shot.
Shirin Abu Aqla’s body was carried on May 13, 2022, corresponding to May 23, 1401, in the east of Jerusalem from San Joseph Hospital to Bab Al-Khalil in the presence of thousands of people, some of whom were holding the Palestinian flag. became. By attacking the ceremony and suppressing the mourners using batons and sound grenades, the Israeli police disrupted the ceremony and injured dozens of participants in the ceremony.
ZinaHalwani; children in detention centers Rights Human Rights
Zina Al-Helwani, the daughter of a Palestinian journalist living in Jerusalem, became famous the day she was arrested because of the smile on her face with her hands and feet tied.
This Palestinian journalist, who was imprisoned in the Zionist prison, after his release, was deeply affected by the moments he saw in the prisons of the occupation regime, and he narrated it himself. cries; I saw with my own eyes that the Palestinian children in the prisons of the Zionist regime cry at night and want their mothers. When I was detained, I was detained in the children’s department in front of our detention center. Among them, I saw children under the age of 11. In the middle of the night, children were screaming and crying for their mothers. I swear to God, whenever I think of these captive children, my tears flow and I cry. Thank God I got out of there and I don’t see these scenes anymore. But I am still worried about the children who are in detention centers. Thank God that I was only detained for a few days.
Don’t these children in detention centers have human rights? Shouldn’t Human Rights Watch take action to free these children? Before I am a journalist, I am a child of Quds and I must defend it. Why are they accusing me of things that I have a duty to do because I am a Palestinian citizen? Why are you slandering me, since before the intifada, that is, even before the holy month of Ramadan, the hearts of all young people have been beating for Quds and are still beating.
