GAZA (Dispatches) – A Palestinian Institution on Monday reported that 111 journalists were martyred by the criminal Zionist regime’s forces in Gaza Strip in 2024.
The Palestinian Journalists and Reporters Association in a report pointed to targeting media persons in 2024 who were martyred by the Zionist regime’s forces and stated that 111 Palestinian male and female journalists were martyred by the occupying regime of Israel in this year, Shahab News website reported.
With martyring 111 Palestinian journalists, the total number of journalists martyred in Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023 has reached 220.
Since the beginning of the Gaza war, 145 arrests and detentions of journalists and reporters have been recorded, about 60 of these journalists are still in detention, the report added.
Journalist Mohammad Hijazi was killed on Sunday in an Israeli attack.
The Israeli regime forces killed the Palestinian writer, poet and journalist in an airstrike on northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp, according to his family.
He was among nearly 90 other Palestinians killed in Israeli bombardment across the besieged territory in the last 24 hours, according to a Gaza Health Ministry statement on Sunday.
“I don’t know if I will write to you again. I keep what I have written and am writing. Maybe it will come to light one day. I refuse a cheap death. I curse the murderer,” Hijazi wrote in a post on social media in August 2023.
“Let us in this bottom that we have finally reached, arm ourselves with patience and prayer, and count the days we have lived as a historic achievement while awaiting what is coming with a broken heart, an extinguished eye, a head held high, and a spirit that fights until the end of the road.” 
Since the Israeli killing machine imposed a military siege of northern Gaza in early October intensifying its bombing attacks on the Jabalia camp, hundreds of people have been killed.
