ISMAIL GHOUL’S MESSAGE BEFORE HE WAS ASSASSINATED HOURS AGO

Ismail Al-Ghoul was killed hours ago as he was reporting the assassination of Ismail Haniyyah Ash Shaheed as the journalist was coming back from Haniyyah’s house in Al-Shaati, Gazzah. He was wearing his press jacket, despite this Israeli forces directly targeted him in a white car.

According to preliminary figures by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), at least 111 journalists and media workers are among those killed since the start of the war on October 7. The Gaza government media office has put the figure at 165 Palestinian journalists killed since the war began.

“Let me tell you, my friend, that I no longer know the taste of sleep. The bodies of children and the screams of the injured and their blood-soaked images never leave my sight. The cries of mothers and the wailing of men who are missing their loved ones never fade from my hearing. I can no longer bear the sound of children’s voices from beneath the rubble, nor can I forget the energy and power that reverberates at every moment, turning into a nightmare. It is no longer easy for me to stand before the rows of coffins, which are locked and extended, or to see the dead people more than the living who are fighting death beneath their homes, not finding a way out to safety and survival. I am tired, my friend…”
