DOHA: The Doha Center for Media Freedom (DCMF) has strongly condemned the Israeli attack on two media centres in Gaza yesterday that injured at least eight journalists. “We strongly condemn the Israeli bombing of media offices in Gaza which resulted in injuring several journalists. We demand the Israeli army to stop targeting journalists, media organisations and innocent civilians,” DCMF said in a statement yesterday.

“The presence of media is essential for reporting the truth. Therefore, we urge the Israeli authorities to stop attacking journalists deliberately as it violates basic human rights principles,” it added.

DCMF said, it will provide through its associate office in Gaza all possible assistance to journalists in Gaza to be able to perform their duties.

One of the media buildings that came under the Israeli attack houses foreign news outlets and the other is used by the media operations unit of Hamas.
