"Israel Accused of Blocking Evacuation and Branding Journalists as 'Terrorists' in Gaza Airstrike"

An Israeli airstrike targeted Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza, leaving cameraman Samer Abu Daqqa wounded and bleeding for over five hours as emergency crews were blocked by the Israeli military. Despite efforts from humanitarian organizations and fellow journalists, including calls to the Israeli military, Abu Daqqa was left to die before help could reach him. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for accountability, with Al Jazeera preparing a legal file for the International Criminal Court and Reporters Without Borders including Abu Daqqa in a war crimes complaint. Gaza has become the deadliest place for journalists, with over 100 killed in three months, and the targeting of Palestinian journalists continues amid the ongoing conflict.
