Time: 10:30 GMT
Ref: 135/2012
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) strongly condemns the killing of 3 journalists in two separate airstrikes on Tuesday, 20 November 2012, in Gaza City and the central Gaza Strip town of Deir al-Balah. PCHR believes that such crimes are aimed at silencing the press and preventing journalists from reporting on the violations of international humanitarian and human rights law being committed by Israeli Occupation Forces against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip. Journalists and media professionals, like civilian persons, enjoy special protection in time of war under international humanitarian law.
