The Gaza government's Media Office announced on Monday the martyrdom of journalist Haneen El-Tahan as a result of Israeli shelling on the sector, raising the total number of journalists martyred since October 7 to 95.
The statement pointed out that journalist Haneen El-Tahan passed away due to the Israeli shelling that targeted her family's home in the Al-Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Born in Gaza City on September 23, 1990, Haneen El-Tahan was a Palestinian journalist who had previously worked as a program producer at Al-Kofiya channel and as a presenter at our country's channel, and also held a position as an editor at the "Country Conditions" website.
Before her death, El-Tahan had struggled with illness, overcoming it, but was eventually lost to our world due to the destructive war on the Gaza Strip.
In a previous statement, the Media Office reported that the occupation deliberately targets journalists with the intention of blurring the Palestinian narrative and trying to conceal the facts, casting a shadow over the transmission of news and information to the regional and international public opinion.
The International Federation of Journalists expressed its denunciation of the killing of journalists in Gaza, calling for their protection from the violence of the occupation to enable them to perform their work.
Since October 7, the Israeli army has waged a destructive war on the Gaza Strip, which, as of December 15, resulted in the martyrdom of 18,000 and 800 Palestinians and injuries to 51,000, most of them children and women, and caused massive destruction to infrastructure and created an "unprecedented humanitarian disaster," according to Palestinian and international reports.
This war came in response to the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation carried out by the Hamas movement on October 7 against Israeli settlements and military bases near Gaza in response to Israel's daily escalation and targeting of the Palestinian people and their holy sites.
