GENEVA, Monday, May 27, 2027 (WAFA) - Reporters Without Borders has filed a war crimes complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) regarding the deaths of Palestinian journalists killed in the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip.
The organization called on the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to "investigate crimes committed against at least nine Palestinian reporters between December 15, 2023 and May 20, 2024."
It said that this is the third complaint the organization has filed regarding the killing of journalists in Gaza before the International Criminal Court.
The new complaint refers to eight new cases of Palestinian journalists killed and a reporter injured by occupation warplanes and military tanks while exercising their journalistic duties.
The non-governmental organization confirmed that it has "reasonable reasons to believe that some of these journalists were victims of premeditated murders and others were victims of deliberate attacks against civilians by the Israeli army."
In early January, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said that crimes against journalists were included in his investigation into war crimes in Gaza.
The Israeli occupation continued today its aggression against the Gaza Strip, which began on October 7th, killing 35,984 people, the majority of whom were children and women, and injuring 80,643 others. Thousands of victims remain missing under the rubble or scattered on the roads.
