The Secretary-General of “Reporters Without Borders”, Christophe Deloire, said that he had never seen such a large number of journalists killed within such a short period of time, as is happening in the war between Israel and Hamas, according to “Russia Today”.

Deloire said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper “Mundo”, commenting on the escalation between Israel and Palestine: “What is happening is simply horrific. Never before has such a number of journalists been killed in a short period of time as happened in Gaza.”

“Reporters Without Borders” announced that, on October 31, it filed a lawsuit before the International Criminal Court regarding the commission of ‘war crimes’ against journalists during the war between Hamas and Israel since October 7.

The organization explained that the lawsuit concerns ‘eight Palestinian journalists who were killed in an Israeli bombing of civilian areas in Gaza, and an Israeli journalist who was killed on October 7 while covering the Hamas attack on the kibbutz in
which he lived.’

The lawsuit also refers to ‘the intentional, total or partial destruction, to the offices of more than 50 media outlets in Gaza.”

The Committee to Protect Journalists reported earlier that the number of journalists and media employees killed during the recent Palestinian-Israeli escalation reached 42.
