11:04 pm
but also a coordination had been made with the uh, authorities. and we've also with the published in the red crescent to evacuate center. he had turned to the hospital as a dead body summer. personally, it was a very close person to me and was very professional camera, a man who has devoted his life a just to fill on to ship the light on the suffering, the palestinians. and those people who had been living under is really intense funding. and a recent video that has been displayed strobing cyber was having just before a couple of our was for his target think having a breakfast with is a clique and then also hospital where they are trying to also survive onto with the a is very often mass of destruction is site deterred rate. summer also had lost his house on the bus for us to iraq to wait to the southern part of garza in order to be safe as israel had earlier designated this area as a safe zone. now,
11:05 pm
cyber had been killed in the safe zone. that is really keeping urging people to flee to since the beginning of this round of fighting and taught it from a lot of what you were counted to us there. it reminds us once again that journalists like sam ed and, and well and yourself are, are not just reporting on this was like so many palestinians that you also living through it. yes, we are living under these circumstances. rehire. we hear the sound of explosions. we see did bodies that psychologically negatively impacts on us in order to keep reporting. but the fact on the ground that we, we don't have any other options remain. as we see the scenes of records, the scene of destruction of houses and one of the main office because that was facing today. the civil defense cruise to risk to summer is the, the, the,
11:06 pm
the rustles of the destroyed houses that talk to the roads which also delayed a, the, the, the process of evacuation besides the funds that as well earlier had prevented medical teams to reach the place. and early hours, so we literally experience old vcr roof exceeds on the ground. this site garza but we need to keep reporting a sub or how to vice us before. like you, our guys are, we're always in is all the ground and as well for the audience, we need to keep the world up data regarding what is happening on the ground. now, cyber, we just inform about you that you have been killed. and now you have been the news and you have been to story all for the world to hear antoinette of us well with the ground. all right, thought it was a mat in gaza. there. thanks very much. stay with us though, because we will come back to you in just a few moments we're going to hear now from i just see it as gauze, a bureau chief, well, the door, he was with a salmon when this attack happened and he was gonna play
11:07 pm
a clip of him recounting the events of these really drawn strike in hon. units of the time he spoke. when did not know that his colleagues, salmon will dot com had died, a sheet cousins. and then all of a sudden something happened. we can tell what happened exactly. i only felt that something big happened and i fell. i fell down and i lost my helmet. and my microphone. i tried to gather all my forces and i was barely able to stand up. i was feeling dizzy. and i was losing my balance. i thought i was expecting the 2nd messiah to be launched
11:08 pm
shortly. and i was able to do so, although it was not completely tent in with balance. i tried to hide in one of the destroyed houses or at the school or to continue walking because i was bleeding in my shoulder and my arm. so i realized that i will keep pleating and nobody will be able to reach us where we, where. so i tried to press one of the injuries that i had on my arm and i tried to walk slowly. i've tried to walk while standing on or using the walls and try to avoid the tunnels as fast as i can. at the end, i was close to the main road. i saw there and i'm balloons. so i shouted and i
11:09 pm
tried to wave with my hand so that they can come. but the situation was very challenging. and they were not able to reach me where that where i was so i needed to continue walking until i reached the ambulance. and they tried to stop the bleeding, at least temporarily. so we got in the ambulance, i asked them to go back to where i was because my colleague center about the car was still there and he was screaming and he was call in for help. i think most of his he what he got injured in the lower parts of his body. but the paramedics told me that we need to leave immediately and that they will send another envelope so that we want to be all targeted. we then came here to this
11:10 pm
hospital and as you can see this summer and whatever we were able to record are still there. the attempts to send to an ambulance and the ambulance got shots. there was some kind of a coordination again. but the ambulance of the red crescent refused to go back there because the area was very the entrance and they requested an official call or an ambulance from the red cross or the united nations agency. but the red cross did not move swiftly, which made the life of our colleagues summary and all the others. this dislike cause of action or slow action put everyone's life in danger. but we are so helpful we. we are hopeful that we will have summer back with us and wish him
11:11 pm
a speedy recovery as far as i'm concerned. this is just the 1st message and i'm trying to gather my thoughts and my force in order to continue. while we have started since the 1st day of the war, i expect to be able to start working again tomorrow morning. despite all the wound. peace be upon you to see you soon. oh, that's time, but that to tonic advisor, who is in rough in southern garza. so todd, it, we just had data from, i just noticed be a chief way, a doctor who was with a salmon a, when this drug strike happened in a fun, eunice. and just in listening to you, you are struck by the calmness with which he talks about what happened here and the determination that still remains in him to continue doing this job despite
11:12 pm
everything that has happened to him personally, his own injuries now um and of course unfortunately, losing members of his family himself are only a few weeks ago. it's a yes has a, this is a part of the character of our colleague what and do who is a very strict and passionate person before being joined the list. he's very supportive and we've such a great determination to keep doing his work perfectly, to add or to, to keep reporting and to pull all of the world on the very close uh, contact regarding what is happening on the ground. i clearly remember the moments we've pet when when he stopped, when he heard the news of the desk of his family members whose son was just next to me. we tried to hide this and use from him, but it was really a very difficult as you go then use
11:13 pm
a managed to realize that his family members had been killed. he stopped asking about his father. and what was it was really shocked about that. that was allowed to hold his own just to let him be patients and to support him. a psychologically, as he was very strong and independent in terms of enduring goal of the last that he had a really experienced ever present as in depth in beginning of his wife and a number of his family members. he just took his decision. he put his emotions aside and he started to report over in use. and one of the main a didn't really use that had been reported as the killing of his family members. and i clearly also remember that he insisted to keep reporting from inside gauze city. but till the moment that israel had expanded the military operations to reach the ship out medical complex, he had a, with a transfer to have us to keep reporting from the a. now he's been injured and we could understand that he will keep attending the
11:14 pm
truth to the world. no. my tell us he had ended with previously in data for the moment. uh, todd was whom lifeforce there in a rough, i appreciate to all of that. thank you. a we're gonna talk more about this now with that time elements. hi liza presenter at the edges era attribute. thanks very much for being with us. now. i know you, you are someone who knew sam and personally talk to us a little bit about that. thank you very much. it's a very sad moment shocking that we lost this clique and the professional journalist on the front of me. i worked for more than a cheese with some of the when i was that goes a correspondence for a jersey or a coveted garza with him. and also we worked together together. a lot of them i was younger list outside garza to and just, you know, we cover from syria to go that together under from egypt and other places. summit is appropriation to join us
11:15 pm
a great friend and really a big loss for us. and then jersey. it on for his colleagues noticed he, he noticed in pace and our condolences to his family, our colleagues, and also to his wife and his 3 children and daughter was currently in belgium in the presence. it's a very sad moment and also the circumstances of his, i say, as a nation, because what did happen to son, according to our colleagues in the field, that he was targeted, what he was was a, what colleague and the autopay to cheve that, why did that do what and has injured and some of it has injured according to what he listened to sign that when he was trying to get out of the area what and managed to get because he was his injury. wasn't that serious summit. he was bleeding, but he was a way to for that happen. and often that he left for 550 is bleeding in the area
11:16 pm
when the school, if he managed to could the good the area the according to them send after he was the 1st in judy he, he managed to get out of the area to, to try to escape what after that he has been targeted by i did on miami sided from digital. yeah, i need a the hey, the targeted him personally so that he was killed. what by this me. so i just found that the wrong, if he could, he explained what, why do you think he believe he was talking to personally, they knew exactly who he was. say that it wasn't clear for them for them that he's a journalist. he was waiting his who was wearing his reading when the press and he was, was, was an in an area which is a school. what out of thousands of civilians are in this a school in the and how you in a city he wasn't in a minute to the area or near
11:17 pm
a military target. he was near a school. a secondary school is called for honda school in finding ernest and the one that was a skew team to cover the area in this, in this target, if any of the security has been told in addition to summit. so based on all the circumstances found that it was targeted and personally targeted, targeted among the group, the meant to call them and for 5 hours, they didn't allow for any of the balances to reach the area to rescue him. because according to what he was listening to him, he was a life when what and get out of of the area and some of them now he's number of 92 of the palestinian during list who have been killed in gaza. says this, what has started according to this, as ballistics, etc for how the jordan is, the developer opinion, jordan this then our team and the fees being targeted every day and somebody has been targeted,
11:18 pm
targeted and we lost some of today before that the family to afford to do the family of our and our engineer, that's what the light engineer 19 of his family has been killed. our other correspondence in government munition off. he lost it $22.00 for his family including his father and mother and our correspondent in the north. and especially if he lost his is of the so we talk about tens of our families of our crew on the ground. they are being killed and targeted. and this is, i said, there is no explanation that a lot of these are targets of this, or it is in the time that they are targeting everyone and goza, including the joining this. and there doesn't seem to be any accountability for this because as you were saying with this has happened so many times for so many people. is there a sense of, of impunity among the israelis. but they feel they can do this and they won't be consequences for what does happen with some of it is
11:19 pm
a great evidence. that's no accountability and no one of the fella, sidney and journalist of thought of this, it throws you the we call everyone who kidding about the protection of the human rights and the for a freedom of speech and the journalist to take to, to, to work takes about a city in georgia to send about a senior civilians summit. i will look a, he's an example of a palestinian journalist in 2002 summit with the he has been injured by their eighties and he kept working and covering from gaza. personally, i know some that as a person, he was determined to go on and discoveries and to cover a professionally, a few months ago, i was telling you that summit has to be held for the 0 to join his somebody in belgium and the persons. and he go to the for, to work as a, a, what comes to mind and the price of he goes to offer. and then he said, no, i want to go back together and my family to go back to, to goes,
11:20 pm
i'm attached to this to this area. i am part of this area i covered for more than twenty's in this area, i wouldn't leave during this war. he was, he had, he had an, a, an, an, a, an, a, an, a, a, been jim edwards events. so he can get the chance to get out of goza, based on the core of the nations with the european nbc spoke to you. if you was still last to go back, yes, it goes out and you have to go out of goza and do any time any. but he, he refused. and, and, and, and, and he spent his time with our team to cover the vis water because he felt that he was responsible as, as they brought us in and join us in the time. that is, what is the don't allow for, i need your minister from outside to get into garza to cover you for this responsibility. and unfortunately, we lost him in this assassination operation. this target, which is a clear evidence for everyone seeking for production of journalism. this isn't a clear evidence that the palestinian journalist, an article and gaza, they are
11:21 pm
a target of those are really forces who are on the ground, killing visual and listen civilians as all the time. and i'm, i, shall we really appreciate you talking to us about sam or he sounds like a great professional and, and a wonderful human being. and also so uh, with his family right now. and, and i appreciate you sharing your stories of him with us once again. thank you. thank you. and let's bring in a home the cell who now in occupied the east jerusalem. so honda, just to, to recount the, the, the circumstances of what happened here that this happened during a, a drug and strike and on han, eunice. and he was with the, with the address here be, are chief where the do and his really strike in hon. you just have we heard anything from these, right? the authorities on this, the full and there is no reaction from
11:22 pm
is really authorities at this hour. but remember, these really are me and government a like continuously denied the fact that they target civilians including journalists in war zones. they rather deflect the blamed on him us and say that they quote, use the civilians as human shields. these really army has been targeting of chewing journalists with impunity in this conflict, but it is not the only time this has happened in the last 70 days alone. you are looking at 9 the media workers and journalists who have been killed inside have gone. so as a result of his really bombardment. and remember, there are also journalists working in occupied east jerusalem and in the occupied west bank, who are encountering these rarely army on an almost daily basis while trying to carry out their duties of work. just to this friday afternoon, a photographer was brutally assaulted by these really military. and these really
11:23 pm
army released the statements saying that they will look into the incident. but that perhaps it was the photographer himself who posed some sort of threat to the border police at the scene. but video footage shows these really army putting this journalist and it show cold, beating him continuously hitting him with their guns. this is something that is unfortunate we the status quote for these really are me. and these really government, when it comes to their treatment of journalists specifically on the palestinian side, remember the desk of our colleagues shooting over an officer who was shot and killed by these really military in the occupied west bank city of jeanine. they deflected immediately and said that it was palestinian fighters in the area who had shot her and they rather try to absolve themselves continuously of this blame until about a year later when they did acknowledge that they were the proper traders. and they
11:24 pm
were the ones who killed her, but still more than a year and a half later, no justice for her or any of the other palestinian journalists who had been killed in this conflict and date. and we're also getting reports for me is where a hand of that several is really captives have died from fire by their own side. what more can you tell us about that? is really army spokesperson, daniel, how gaiety acknowledging this evening. but these really military shot and killed 3 captives in northern gaza after they mistakenly identified them as a threat. we've been hearing from multiple is really officials to night, the prime minister, the army spokesperson, defense minister, jo. i've guidelines and war cabinet member been against who are all saying the same thing that the incident is tragic and that these really military bears responsibility for what happened adding,
11:25 pm
but these are complex operations and that they will be continuing them until all 3 of their warm goals are achieved. now the families of these captives, these really society and the bring them back movement are enraged and pointing the finger of the prime minister himself saying that he's not doing enough to return the captives from gaza, saying that they have become almost like a secondary thought to him because of the other war objectives. additionally, they are now threatening more protests and even a hunger strike after these really military has indeed acknowledged that they have killed 3 of their own captives. honda, thank you. i'm to son who's in occupied east jerusalem. a loss to announce a child stressful in nablus, in the occupied westbank and charles at the depths of sam or is it as a reminder, once again of just how dangerous this job is not just in gaza, but in uh,
11:26 pm
in the west bank where you are a lot so i do speak to a palestinian journalist here in the occupied westbank hooping covering the occupation for years. and of course have been covering the war here since october the 7th and. and they will tell you that they have never seen anything like the kind of pressures, the kind of dangers that they now face on a, on a daily nightly basis covering these. for example, these, these riley ministry writes targeting villages, towns and cities across the occupied territories. it seems as if the ministry base really made a tray, all right, seeing with a more impunity than they have, i have done before, i was just able to sort of scenario for journalists trying to come up. for example, the increased attack spot is rarely settlers that we've seen since the beginning of the war as well. many of these attacks have done it with the sort of seemingly
11:27 pm
tacit approval of the military or with the ministry. actually the oldest participating in, in these attacks, for example, on palestinians wanted to pick their own live hobbies or villages that seem to be a straight to potential designs by checklist 2 foot foot for land grabs and palestinian jet and assigned international just to facing search by these settlers, many of whom, or heavily owned, pretty much, you know, every day and it's a sign showing this to tell you, and that many atlas will tell you of the, the green light that is being given by a fall, right. we each way, the government that is acting with complaints impunity. um, as, as a wide, a policy for trying to intimidate, scare a push palestinians out of land. they have designs of potentially building more
11:28 pm
sacrament, sol. so yeah, this writes, the dangers have increased considerably since the beginning of the wall logistics to where you give a couple of examples post a lot of those. there's nothing worse than a journalist talking about things sometimes personally because the last thing that we want to do is become part of the story. but graphic examples of some of the problems that i've seen is, is faced in the last few weeks. we were trying to cover one of the prisoner releases from offer prison, i suppose to 3 weeks or so ago. and there was an attack by these very ministry tools. austin a, another journalist, standing close by an outage or arabic camera man, had a rubber bullet that smashed directly into his view finder, wrecking his camera and all vehicle. the loss of one of the outside windows on a call was smashed, and one of the team members was,
11:29 pm
was seriously injured. it was very obvious that we would join list because we were in a, a satellite track with a large dish. wearing a vest saying that we what, what will the price they should kind of thing now makes absolutely no difference seemingly to these rarely, military and to the set list. and so, yes, john is what the way across deal divide westbank are facing more than just arguably than they ever have done in their professional career is to charles nike, charles stressful life has dared nablus in the occupied of westbank but sent him back to let you on as a current associate professor of golds, paula to accept the goals study center of cuts our university. i'm. so let's remind ourselves again that sam, but i will duck i was was a camera man. and like so many of the cameraman there. he was capturing images. that's so much it so many of the, the international media will not be able to, to bring because they were not inside. it was an incredibly important job that he
11:30 pm
was doing exactly since the beginning of this war. it was clear that the press would be silence, that there would be a station on the press as well at present in. not only that, they don't always have, they will release him by this time, but prevent injuries from other places to to, to reach gus, upland progressive to report what was going on there. and this is tim. i think i've talked to the press. it's not something randomly, it's something that this seems to be a pre organized pre that their mind the and on the other hand, it demonstrates that there is no profession, no place to say for anybody. and they're in augusta. either you are doing a lease or a doctor or do have any other profession. and we just tend to the conflict itself for a moment more than $18000.00 palestinians killed. now in a 2 months of this war, it does seem is this point that there is no end to this because we're not hearing anything new on the negotiation.
