A group of around 90 journalists in Germany called for the protection of their colleagues in Palestine as well as access to international media personnel in Gaza. 

The Turkish Foreign Ministry expressed strong condemnation on Tuesday regarding an Israeli assault on journalists from the Turkish public broadcaster TRT, characterizing it as "an effort by bloodstained Israel to conceal the truth."

A collaborative investigation by international media outlets on Tuesday shed light on the circumstances behind more than 100 Palestinian journalists and media workers being killed in the Gaza war, some while wearing a press vest.

A Turkish state television journalist was badly wounded and another slightly hurt in the Gaza war Friday, the TRT channel said, adding that the team had been targeted by an Israeli strike.

"The vehicle of a team from TRT Arabi (TRT's Arabic-language channel) that was preparing to broadcast from the Nuseirat camp... was targeted by an Israeli army strike," the broadcaster said.

Seventy-two of the 99 journalists killed in 2023 were killed in the Israel-Hamas war, making the last 12 months the deadliest for the media in almost a decade, the Committee to Protect Journalists has said.
