The recent attack by the Israeli forces on media personnel in Syria resulted in the tragic loss of two journalists from Al Mayadeen and one from Al Manar, with three others sustaining injuries. The Union of Journalists in Syria strongly condemned this deliberate act of violence, highlighting the clear intent to suppress the truth about the genocidal war being waged against civilians by Israel. The union characterized the targeting of journalists as a war crime and called for international organizations to hold the perpetrators accountable.
In this time of mourning, the Union extends its condolences to the families of the victims and stands in solidarity with Al-Mayadeen and Al-Manar channels. It is vital for media, humanitarian, and legal institutions to ensure justice is served and prevent such heinous attacks from going unpunished.
