The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned Israeli forces’ bombing of a journalists’ tent in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.

One journalist was killed and several others were injured in the attack.

The OIC stated that the incident is a clear violation of press freedom and reflects Israel’s ongoing policy of suppressing the media, concealing its actions, and preventing the international community from accessing accurate information.

The organization held Israeli authorities fully responsible for the deaths of more than 210 journalists since the beginning of the military operation in Gaza Strip, which the OIC has described as genocide.

The OIC renewed its call on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to complete its investigations into all alleged crimes committed by Israel against civilians, including journalists who face targeted killings, arbitrary arrests, and physical assaults while performing their professional duties.

The organization also urged international bodies, particularly UNESCO, to take action to ensure accountability, uphold press freedom, and protect the safety of journalists working in the occupied Palestinian territories in accordance with international law.
