AFP on Saturday called on Israel for"an in-depth and transparent investigation" into the exact involvement of its army after a strike severely damaged its office in Gaza City, which has been shelled for weeks.
"A strike on the offices of an international news agency sends a deeply troubling message to all the journalists working in such difficult conditions in Gaza," said AFP Chairman and CEO Fabrice Fries.According to media rights watchdog Reporters Without Borders , more than 30 journalists have been killed since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas.
AFP's live video feed broadcasting 24/7 from Gaza City has been temporarily suspended since Saturday, for reasons outside AFP's control. "According to the current information we hold, it seems that there was a IDF strike near the building to eliminate an immediate threat," a spokesperson said in a statement Friday.
