HR body urges probe into Israel’s crimes against journalists

Tehran, IRNA – Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has called for an independent international investigation into Israel’s crimes against journalists.

Given the Zionist regime's long history of targeting them, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor called on Sunday for an independent international investigation into Israel’s crimes against journalists, whether in the West Bank or during repeated military attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The organization also urged the international community to put an end to the policy of impunity that has allowed Israel to target more and more journalists.

As of Sunday 19 November, the Israeli military has killed 59 Palestinian journalists and injured dozens more, said Euro-Med Monitor.

The organization called it the highest-ever rate of journalists killed in wars or conflicts in modern history.

The killed journalists all belong to media groups operating in the Gaza Strip and include a correspondent for Palestine TV, members of the official Palestinian news agency, and others working for local and international media outlets and institutions.

Euro-Med Monitor reiterated its strong condemnation of the Israeli regime’s targeting and indiscriminate killing of journalists in conflict areas aimed at preventing them from performing their media coverage, calling for urgent international measures to hold those involved accountable and end the systematic Israeli regime's targeting of journalists throughout the occupied Palestine.

Euro-Med Monitor has received testimonies from multiple journalists expressing the identical fear that media equipment they received from international organizations via the Zionist regime may include location-tracking or eavesdropping devices, which may have facilitated their recent targeting.
