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.
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.
