Al Jazeera condemn in strongest term the Israeli destruction of its offices in Gaza

Al Jazeera has condemned in the strongest terms bombing and destruction of its offices by the Israeli military in Gaza. In a statement, the Doha-based news network said it views this as a clear act to stop journalists from conducting their sacred duty to inform the world and report events on the ground. "Al Jazeera vows to pursue every available route to hold the Israeli government responsible for its actions," the statement said. Residents and occupants of Al Jalaa building, which houses Al Jazeera’s offices along with other major international media outlets, such as AP, and Middle East Eye, were informed by the Israeli army via a phone call that they had less than one hour to vacate the building. "Al Jazeera calls on all media and human right institutions to join forces in denouncing these ruthless bombing and to hold the government of Israel accountable for deliberately targeting journalists and media institutions."
