CAIRO, Jan 7 — An Israeli air strike on a car near Rafah in southern Gaza today killed two Palestinian journalists who were out reporting, according to health officials in Gaza and the journalists’ union there.
Hamza Al-Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya were both freelancers. Al-Dahdouh had done freelance work for Al Jazeera and was the son of the Qatar-based TV station’s chief correspondent in Gaza, Wael Al-Dahdouh. A third freelancer, Hazem Rajab, was wounded.
The Israel Defence Forces did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the strike.
The Israel-Hamas war that started on October 7 has been deadly for journalists. The Committee for the Protection of Journalists (CPJ), an international watchdog, said that as of yesterday, 77 journalists and media workers had been killed - 70 Palestinians, four Israelis and three Lebanese.
