UN slams Israel's killing of Gaza journalists

The UN human rights agency on Monday condemned Israel's targeted killing of six journalists in Gaza as a "grave breach of international humanitarian law".

"Israel must respect and protect all civilians, including journalists," the office of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said on X. It added that at least 242 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza since the Hamas attacks on Israel set off a war in the Palestinian territory in October 2023.
