A correspondent for Al Jazeera and a colleague were killed in a reported Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza while reporting live from a location close to the destroyed family home of the late Hamas’ political chief, Ismail Haniyeh.
The journalists, aged 27 and a cameraman, were killed in the al Shati refugee camp, according to the Qatar-based network.
Both journalists had been reporting live for much of the day from a location close to the former home of Haniyeh, who was assassinated in the Iranian capital of Tehran.
The crew had been targeted in an Israeli airstrike, as confirmed by a journalist working in Gaza.
They were filming reactions to the assassination of Haniyeh when the incident occurred. Their bodies are now in Al Ahli hospital and will be buried soon. The loss of these journalists has deeply impacted their colleagues and the community.
