Confirmation of Israel’s role in Reuters reporter’s testimony
| The investigations show that the Reuters reporter was martyred by the Zionist regime's tank. |
According to the report of the international group of Fars news agency, the investigation of the staff of the Reuters news agency shows that the consecutive firing of bullets by the tanks of the Israeli regime was the cause of the martyrdom of the reporter of this media on October 13.
Human rights groups that called for an investigation into Israel’s attacks have reached similar conclusions after conducting independent investigations.
Zionist regime 21 Mehr month, in the attack on the journalists’ car in the “Ulama al-Shaab” area of Lebanon, Essam al-Abdullah, a 37-year-old Reuters photographer and journalist, was martyred. In that attack, 28-year-old Christina Asi The AFP reporter was also seriously injured. Essie’s leg was amputated and she is still in the hospital.
The evidence cited by the Reuters news agency includes analysis of bomb fragments, satellite images, statements of survivors and videos recorded from the scene before and during the attack.
The editor-in-chief of the Reuters news agency said: “The evidence we now have and was published today shows that one of the Israeli tank crews killed our colleague Essam Abdullah.”
He added: “We condemn Essam’s murder and ask Israel to explain how this happened and also hold accountable the people involved in his death and the wounding of the AFP reporter.”
Last night Al Jazeera news channel also reported that one of the journalists of this media lost 22 members of his family in an Israeli airstrike on the house where they were sheltering.
The Al Jazeera news network wrote: “The family members of Al Jazeera Arab reporter Maaman al-Shorfi were killed in the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza.”
Regime Since the beginning of the operation in Gaza, Israel has started a war with the media – even the media inside occupied Palestine – to cover up the facts of this war.
A few weeks ago, Israel’s Minister of Finance, “Shalom Karhi”, accused Haaretz newspaper of “breaking the barrier against Israel during the war” and asked to consider fines for this newspaper.
Among the fines considered for this newspaper is canceling the subscription of this newspaper for Israeli government institutions and taking some other measures.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet activated some “emergency laws” last month in order to shut down foreign media whose reports he considers harmful. The law allows targeted media outlets to be shut down for at least 30 days.
The main purpose of this bill was to shut down the Al Jazeera TV channel, which played a big role in clarifying some of the facts of Gaza. But Netanyahu’s cabinet finally rejected that plan because of the hope it had in those days for Qatar to advance the prisoner exchange negotiations.
On November 13, The Times of Israel reported that Netanyahu’s cabinet was referring to this bill, which prevented Al-Mayadeen TV from operating inside occupied Palestine.
One week later on November 21, the Israeli regime killed two journalists of this media in an airstrike in southern Lebanon. “Farah Omar” and “Rabih Al-Mamari” were targeted and lost their lives while covering the clashes between Hezbollah and Israel in southern Lebanon.
“Committee to Protect Journalists” one day Later, he demanded an independent investigation into the possibility that this attack on al-Mayadeen journalists was intentional. The statement of this committee states: “Journalists are civilians who are doing important work in times of crisis and should not be targeted by warring parties.”
Reporters Without Borders A report pointed to Israel’s repressive practices against the media and wrote: “Under Israel’s military censorship laws, reporting on some security issues requires prior permission from the authorities. In addition to the possibility of filing defamation lawsuits against journalists, they may be targeted with other charges such as criminal defamation and insulting a government official. There is a freedom of information law, but it is often difficult to enforce it.”
Publishing news in Israeli domestic media also faces various obstacles. The Times of Israel reported that any information about security and intelligence issues must be approved by Israel’s main censor, General Kabi Mandelbit, before being published in traditional and virtual media.
