A devastating attack on a convoy of journalists and opposition supporters in southern Philippines nearly two decades ago remains one of the deadliest attacks on media workers in modern history. In 2009, more than 100 armed men linked to a local political clan ambushed and killed 58 people, including 32 journalists or media workers who were invited to cover the trip. The victims’ bodies were later exhumed from a mass grave.
Criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza has sparked heated debate among readers, with many describing the killing of journalists as deliberate and part of a broader strategy to suppress truth about alleged war crimes and genocide.
