The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) called on the UN Security Council to take urgent measures to stop deliberate and systematic attacks on media and journalists, RIA Novosti reported.

According to the organization, more than 30 journalists have been detained or targeted in attacks in Gaza. In response to the attacks, IFJ sent a letter to the Israeli authorities, the UN Secretary-General, and all members of the Security Council demanding an end to deliberate and systematic attacks on media and journalists and an apparent attempt to silence those reporting from the ground in Gaza.
