Woman journalist Safaa Ahmad, who worked as an anchor for Syrian state television, lost her life on 1 October in an Israeli airstrike on the capital Damascus. Ahmad is the first journalist killed in the country in 2024. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins its affiliate, the Syrian Journalists’ Union (SJU) in condemning the heinous killing, and reiterates that the perpetrators of the deadliest conflict for journalists must be tried before the International Criminal Court, as international law requires that journalists are considered civilians and combatants are obliged to ensure their safety.

    They’ve been bombing Syria for years now, actually. The reason is because Israel wants to dominate the entire Middle East and will destroy any and all countries that stand in their way.
