People in Palestine have to endure a new hell every day and have faced life-threatening conditions in Gaza and even in the Israeli-occupied West Bank since October 7. That includes journalists, medics, and first responders, who are civilian heroes on the front lines and who face such danger every day.

Here are some examples:

Two days ago, on December 26, five journalists were murdered, and their bodies were burned after the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) targeted their broadcast vehicle near Al-Awda Hospital in Al-Nuseirat Camp, Central Gaza.

The martyred journalists were:

These 5 murdered journalists were not only names, but they were also voices seeking the truth!! Photo credit: Nour Naim Twitter account

* Journalist: Ayman al Gedi

* Reporter: Faisal Abu Al-Qumsan

* Editor: Fadi Hassouna

* Coordinator: Ibrahim Al-Sheikh Ali

* Editor: Mohammed Al-Ladaa

The IDF's reason for murdering them is that they were broadcasting "enemy propaganda." This is a cowardly and barbaric act! If that is not terrorism, I do not know what is. This raises the number of journalists killed by the IDF to since the beginning of the war to over 200 since October 7.. I should note here that the wife of Ayman al Gedi gave birth to their firstborn child as an orphan. It would be devastating for this orphaned child to remember his dad was martyred on his birthday and before he could see him. Not one single call of condemnation or protest by any of the cowardly Western media or officials.

Support for Palestine from people in the US and the EU is a morale booster

* Ione Belarra is Spanish Minister who is a leading EU advocate of Palestinian rights. She threatened to withhold its crucial support for next year's budget unless the government break diplomatic relations with Israel. She said recently "Israel cruelly murders journalists because it does not want witnesses to its crimes against humanity."

* It is heartwarming to see Apartheid Israel has closed its embassy in Ireland. The whole world celebrated when the people of Ireland raised the Palestinian flag over the former Israeli embassy and turned it into a Palestinian museum. Hey, it is time to give Ireland back to the Irish and make Israel Palestine again!

Since the beginning of the war, the IDF has deliberately targeted Palestinian journalists. Starting with Wael Dahdouh's family, Ismail el-Ghoul, and the family of Motasem Dalloul whose house was targeted by the IDF air attack after he went to get some food for his starving family in Gaza City. When he came back, his pregnant wife Rahim and their 3-year-old son Abu Bakir were dead and his 6-year-old son Assim was badly injured. Prior to that, Dalloul's business was bombed by the IDF. I met Dalloul who is UK-educated online during the 2014 Israeli war on Gaza.

Young journalist Doaa J Rouqa from Gaza City has another heart-wrenching story. She has not seen her family for the last 444 days except via Facetime. She now lives and reports from Southern Gaza where she lives less than 15 miles from her family. This young lady is fearless and has a heart like a lioness.

On December 4, the IDF bombed the home of well-known journalist Anas Al-Sharif in Jabalia who works for Al Jazeera TV. He was not home but his father was. Anas' father was martyred while performing his afternoon prayers and their home was gone.
