Al Jazeera has issued a scathing rebuke against Israeli forces following the tragic loss of its journalist, Mohammed Wishah, who was struck down in an aerial assault on his vehicle while traveling in the Gaza Strip earlier today.
In a strongly worded statement, Al Jazeera Media Network unequivocally denounces the heinous act of targeting and killing its Mubasher correspondent, Mohammed Wishah, as a brazen and flagrant breach of international law and norms. This incident represents yet another egregious example of a systematic policy aimed at silencing journalists and suppressing the truth.
Mohammed Wishah’s untimely demise is part of a disturbing trend of deliberate crimes perpetrated against media professionals, which serves as a clear attempt to obstruct reporting on the ground in the Gaza Strip and conceal crimes committed against civilians. His name joins the list of Al Jazeera journalists who have fallen victim to Israeli occupation forces in Gaza, including Samer Abu Daqqa, Hamza Al Dahdouh, Ismail Al Ghoul, Ahmed Al Louh, Hossam Shabat, Ibrahim Thaher, Mohammed Qreiqea, Mohammed Nofal, Anas Al Sharif, and Mohammed Salama.
As Al Jazeera mourns the loss of its correspondent, Mohammed Wishah, who had been a part of the Network since 2018, it asserts that his killing was a deliberate and targeted act intended to intimidate journalists and prevent them from carrying out their professional duties. The Network unequivocally holds Israeli occupation forces accountable for this crime, which is part of a sustained and systematic pattern of incitement and targeting of its journalists, aimed at silencing them and obstructing coverage of ongoing events.
In a show of solidarity with Mohammed Wishah’s family and colleagues, Al Jazeera extends its deepest condolences while reaffirming its unwavering commitment to its journalistic mission. The Network calls upon the international community, human rights organisations, and media groups to take a firm and urgent stance against these grave violations, hold those responsible to account, and bring an end to the policy of impunity that continues to enable such crimes against journalists.
Furthermore, Al Jazeera reiterates its dedication to pursuing all necessary legal action to prosecute those responsible for the killing of its correspondents and staff in Gaza, and to seek justice for them and for all fallen journalists.
