As @HossamShabat said on live today, "if you can, just tweet. A tweet can help protect the journalists and their integrity as they are continuing to be targeted [by the IOF]. This tweet could be used to spread awareness of the plan the Zionist entity has for the journalists ... inside the Gaza Strip, so that [the IOF] can create [a] media blackout and silence the voices within."

#ProtectTheJournalists
Journalist @HossamShabat:
I plea to everyone to share the reality about Journalists in order to spread awareness about the real plans of the Israeli occupation to target journalists in order to impose a media blackout. Spread the hashtag and talk about us!

International Call for the Protection of Journalists:
For over a year, a few active journalists in Gaza have been reporting live on the genocide, wearing press vests on international news channels. They are now being labeled as ‘terrorists’, marking the beginning of a plan to target them and obscure the ongoing massacres, especially in northern Gaza. These journalists, accused by the Israeli occupation army, continue their work without any security or protection.
️ Share the hashtag #ProtectTheJournalists on all social media platforms.
Translated by @translatingpal:
The occupation forces have launched a new campaign targeting six Al Jazeera reporters in Gaza, claiming they have uncovered “crucial documents” proving that Anas Al-Sharif, Alaa Salama, Hossam Shabat, Ashraf Al-Sarraj, Ismail Abu Omar, and Talal Al-Arrouqi are affiliated with Hamas and Al-Qassam Brigades. Journalist Talal Al-Arrouqi immediately denied these allegations, and other journalists have confirmed that the occupation’s statements are fabricated. The only evidence presented by the occupation is a list of journalist names and documents mentioning them.
