The Israeli occupation forces' deliberate targeting of journalists is still ongoing as the death toll of media workers rises to 100.

Palestinian journalist Mohammad Abu Houwaidi, who works for al-Istiklal newspaper, was martyred Saturday in an Israeli airstrike as he was carrying out his duties in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood in Gaza, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported.

Houwaidi's martyrdom hiked the number of martyrs to 100 since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza on October 7, the government media in Gaza reported.

The Israeli occupation forces destroyed Friday the office of Palestine Today, an Arabic-speaking Palestinian TV channel, in Suhad Tower, in Gaza City. The attack also destroyed broadcast vehicles that belonged to the channel.

In this context, the Al Mayadeen Media Network issued a statement condemning this deliberate attack, and expressed its absolute solidarity with Palestine Today including "all its members, correspondents, and administrative team."

Al Mayadeen considered the attack as "evidence of the pathological Israeli sadism and hysteria as a result of its abject failure to confront the national Palestinian media in general, and the Resistance media in particular."
