Israel has bombed the office of Press TV in the Gaza Strip amid an ongoing conflict in Palestine.
The statement issued by Iran warned that Israel’s targeting of media staff and journalists in Gaza, including its bombing of the office of the two Iranian news channels, is a desperate attempt to create an information vacuum in Gaza and thus to prepare the ground for committing massacre against the people of the besieged territory.
More than a thousand people have been killed and thousands more have been injured in nearly five days of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, a besieged territory on the Mediterranean which is home to some 2.3 million people despite its relatively small land area.
The attacks started on October 7 after the Gaza-based Hamas resistance movement launched a multi-pronged operation into the Israeli-occupied territories to retaliate weeks of intensified violence against the Palestinians.
The operation left more than a thousand Israelis dead.
