PETALING JAYA: A group of veteran Malaysian journalists condemned the Israeli military’s bombardment of homes, offices and other infrastructure, including the building that housed the offices of foreign media such as The Associated Press and Al Jazeera. The Group of Eminent Journalists said it was unthinkable that a military force would target the offices of media practitioners. “The Israeli airstrikes destroyed the Al-Jalaa Tower that housed the offices of several media organisations. The group also urged Israeli journalists to act as the conscience of the nation, saying what is happening now is not about Israel’s so-called right to exist. It is simply an act of aggression that must be condemned by all nations and civil societies,” the group said.
