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.

As of January 6, 2024 77 journalists and media workers were confirmed dead: 70 Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese.

  • 16 journalists were reported injured.
  • 3 journalists were reported missing.
  • 21 journalists were reported arrested.
  • Multiple assaults, threats, cyberattacks, censorship, and killings of family members. Source

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?

Yes. Do you know the difference between Al Jazeera and Hamas?
