Video: 5 Palestinian journalists murdered as they slept in their ‘PRESS’ van

Israel’s campaign to silence voices exposing its genocide continues horrifically

Journalists Ayman Al-Jadi, Faisal Abu Al-Qumsan, Muhammad Al-Ladah, Ibrahim Al-Sheikh Ali and Fadi Hassouna were murdered last night as they slept in their ‘Al-Quds Al-Youm’ channel press van, which was clearly marked ‘PRESS’ on the sides and top, in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Israel has murdered more than two hundred journalists, many of them along with their families, as it tries to silence those whose broadcasts and reporting has exposed its genocide and destroyed its international standing with a global majority apart from colluding politicians like Keir Starmer and Joe Biden.

A video shot as the journalists travelled in their van before their deaths shows four of the victims of Israel’s latest atrocity:

Rescue workers were able to recover their bodies before the van was completely consumed, but the vehicle was soon engulfed:

The mother of one of the victims, together with other surviving family members, lamented over the body of her only son, crying “Love me, my soul!”:

And the journalists’ friends and colleagues said a “sad and painful” farewell as morning broke:

But the mourning became anger as well, as they demanded to know why western journalists are silent:

Israel is a rogue and terror state. Keir Starmer, who has claimed he understands the importance of protecting journalists globally, remains silent on its murder campaign against journalists in Gaza and is persecuting and criminalising UK journalists who expose its crimes. The UK’s ‘mainstream’ media also collude by silence in the murder of their Palestinian colleagues. All of them belong on trial in the Hague for participation in genocide.
