On August 29, UNESCO issued this press release:
The Director-General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, today denounced the killing of Palestinian journalist Abdullah Murtaja, who died on 25 August.

“I condemn the killing of Abdullah Murtaja,” the Director-General said. “Journalists must be able to carry out their work in safe conditions and their civilian status needs to be respected at all times. Society needs to be kept informed of events, never more so than when living in the shadow of conflict.”
I had previously found a photo of Murtaja with a rifle, but I didn't think he was a terrorist fighter. Until now.

A new video was released showing Murtaja giving his "martyr" statement meant to be shown posthumously.

The "journalist" who worked for Hamas' Al Aqsa TV, was also an Al Qassam Brigades terrorist. Hamas is calling him a "media martyr."



It is a war crime to have fighters pretend to be protected civilians.  Will UNESCO release a statement condemning Hamas' using fighters who masquerade as journalists?
