Israeli Military Warns Al Jazeera Correspondent in Gaza to Leave Home or Die
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Al Jazeera is condemning threats by the Israeli army against the family
of its Gaza correspondent Youmna El Sayed. On Monday, El Sayed's husband
received a call from Israeli forces warning family members to
immediately leave their home or be killed in a bombardment. The threat
comes just days after an Israeli strike killed 12 family members of Al
Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh, including his two children
and grandson. Al Jazeera said in a statement, "Israel's actions continue
with impunity as they attempt to silence the messenger." Democracy Now!
spoke to Youmna El Sayed last week.

Youmna El Sayed: "Homes were targeted. Hospitals were targeted. In these
same areas that people were asked to evacuate, hundreds of families who
had evacuated from the north and from Gaza City were killed in those
bombings. When we say there is no safe place in Gaza, we're not lying."
