The Yemeni Media Union (YMU) condemned the Zionist enemy’s continued deliberate targeting of media professionals and media crews working in occupied Palestine since October 7, 2023 AD, the most recent of whom was our colleague Alaa Al-Hams, who died from her wounds as a result of her home being directly bombed by Zionist enemy forces on December 3rd.
“The martyrdom of Alaa Al-Hams brings the number of journalist martyrs to 126 since the start of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip,” The YMU said in a statement obtained by Saba News Agency.
The YMU offered condolences to the family of their colleague Al-Hams and all media professionals in Palestine.
“The crimes committed by the Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip have surpassed war crimes and are considered acts of genocide. It is imperative for the international community and all organizations working in the field of rights and freedoms to stand firmly against these crimes that target the innocent, journalists, and everything protected under international conventions that guarantee their right to protection and life, and to criminalize targeting them,” the statement read.
The Media Union praised the role of the resistance media, especially the Palestinian resistance media, which had and still has a major role in exposing the crimes and violations committed by the Zionist enemy’s war machine in the Gaza Strip.
The statement stressed the importance of unifying the resistance media front, so that the aggression against the Palestinian people stops and Zionist criminals are tried through international courts, as the crime does not have a statute of limitations.
