The eldest son of Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief has been killed in an Israeli strike in southern Gaza.
Hamza al-Dahdouh, an Al Jazeera network journalist and cameraman, was with other journalists on a road between Khan Younis and Rafah when a drone strike hit.
Freelance journalist Mustafa Thuraya was also killed.
Four other members of bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh’s family were also killed in October.
His wife Amna, his grandchild Adam, his 15-year-old son Mahmoud and seven-year-old daughter Sham all died in an Israeli strike.
Journalists are being targeted tho.
This is the deadliest conflict EVER for journalists.
Shits bad when the IDF manages to kill more people in this war than the Taliban managed in 5 years in Afghanistan.
It seems to me, according to your source, that IDF has been killing Hamas-employed journalists. Which kind of is what they said they would do… kill every member of Hamas. Whether they were really a journalist or just listed as such so as to make Israel look bad when they kill them, I don’t know.
Do you have proof Hamas employed journalists?
Did you read source you linked yourself?
Yes. Do you know the difference between Al Jazeera and Hamas?
Usually when journalists are covering the war, they are attached to some military group which protects them. I guess it is not an option for Hamas.
That only happens when journalists are embedded. Not all journalists covering conflicts are embedded tho.
And those are in huge risk to get killed especially if they are getting into the zone of active action. I guess due to impossibility to be embedded with Hamas, there are more non-embedded journalists in this conflict.
AFAIK the IDF doesn’t have embedded journalists either … so I’m unsure why you are focused on what Hamas isn’t doing when the IDF isn’t doing it as well.
Interesting, I did not know that. I guess Israeli journalists would not go to Gaza across the conflict line. And it is arguably safer right now on Israeli side.
