RAMALLAH, August 25, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Presidency has strongly condemned the brutal attack by the Israeli occupation army at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, which resulted in the killing of five Palestinian journalists while performing their professional and humanitarian duties.

The Presidency affirmed that targeting journalists constitutes a blatant violation of international law and agreements that guarantee the protection of journalists and press freedom. It described the attack as a new war crime added to a long series of crimes and massacres committed by the Israeli occupation in an attempt to silence the Palestinian media and the voice of truth.

The statement stressed that the continued targeting of journalists and media institutions by the Israeli occupation demands urgent action from the international community, particularly the UN Security Council and the United Nations, to provide protection for journalists and hold the occupation accountable for its crimes.

The Presidency held the Israeli government fully responsible for this heinous crime and called on human rights organizations and relevant international bodies to intervene immediately to stop these systematic attacks against Palestinian journalists, the defenders of truth and the voice of the free Palestinian people.
