The Palestinian Press Agency (Arabic: وكالة الصحافة الفلسطينية‎), also known as the Safa News Agency (stylized as SAFA), is a Gaza-based Palestinian news agency affiliated with Hamas.[1][2][3]

The agency was launched on July 5, 2009 and headed by Yasser Abu-Hin, who previously directed Hamas-affiliated PalMedia.[4][3] Facebook deleted the agency's page in March 2018 as part of a broader blocking of Palestinian accounts for alleged incitement. According to Palestinian activists, Facebook deleted the accounts of more than 500 journalists and pages since the beginning of 2018.[1][5]
