In a statement, the media office announced that the number of journalists killed in Gaza since October 7 has reached 132, following the deaths of two journalists, Mohammad Yaghi and Musab Abu Zaid.

Both journalists, along with members of their families, were killed in Israeli airstrikes on their homes in Nuseirat Refugee Camp.
According to the United Nations, Israel's war in Gaza has forced 85% of Gaza's population to flee the area amid severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while 60% of the territory's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.
For the first time since its founding in 1948, Israel has been charged with genocide at the International Court of Justice, the United Nations' highest judicial body, over its war in Gaza.
An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop acts of genocide and take steps to ensure that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
