The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip reported that the number of martyred journalists has risen to 209 since the onset of the ongoing war on Gaza. This follows the martyrdom of Mohammed Saleh Al-Bardawil, a broadcaster for Sawt Al-Aqsa Radio.

The office strongly condemned the "deliberate killing and assassination of Palestinian journalists by the occupation," calling it a grave violation of press freedom.

The statement urged the International Federation of Journalists and the Federation of Arab Journalists to denounce these systematic attacks on Palestinian journalists and media workers in Gaza.

Additionally, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) revealed on Tuesday that at least 322 children have been killed and 609 others injured in Gaza over the past 10 days, as the Israeli occupation continues its aggression.
