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.

    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.
