Tehran, IRNA -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has condemned Israel for killing journalists, saying that targeting journalists is a direct assault on humanitarian principles and freedom of expression.
The IRGC issued a statement on Tuesday, reacting to a targeted Israeli attack on a tent in Gaza City late on Sunday, which left five journalists dead, including prominent reporter of Al Jazeera, Anas Al-Sharif.
"The racist and wolf-like Israeli regime, which has always sought to silence the voice of truth, has once again demonstrated through this crime that it will stop at nothing to conceal its medieval atrocities and its brutal, inhumane nature," the IRGC said.
This brutal action not only violates human rights but also targets the right of nations to know the truth, it added.
"In today's cognitive war, journalists stand against lies and distortions, using their pens and cameras, and they bear the great responsibility of transmitting awareness to human societies by narrating the truth," the statement read.
The criminal Israeli regime, by assassinating journalists and media personnel, seeks to obstruct the path of truth-telling and awareness, attempting to hide the bitter reality of its crimes in "heroic and oppressed Gaza." It further said.
