GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Journalist Iman Al-Shanti, 36, along with her husband and three of their children were martyred on Wednesday morning in an Israeli occupation raid on a house in Gaza City.
The Palestinian Journalists Protection Center (PJPC) and the Palestinian Media Forum condemned the killing of journalist Al-Shanti and her family, who worked as a broadcaster on Sawt Al-Aqsa Radio and presenter of the “The Origin of the Story” program on social media platforms.
With the martyrdom of Al-Shanti, the number of the journalists who have been killed since October 7, 2023, by the Israeli occupation army rises to at least 193, in addition to the injury of 396 journalists and the arrest of 40 others.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International Australia announced that journalist Anas Al-Sharif will be awarded the “2024 Human Rights Defender” Award, in honor of his courageous efforts in covering events in Gaza and his presenting live testimonies that highlight the suffering of civilians.
Al-Sharif dedicated the award to the soul of his martyred father, whose martyrdom anniversary falls today, and to his fellow journalists, most notably the wounded Al-Jazeera cameraman Fadi Al-Wahidi.
