Al Jazeera Cameraman Killed in Gaza Strike as Journalists' Toll Rises
Al Jazeera says its cameraman Ahmed Wishah was killed in an Israeli strike targeting a house in Gaza’s Bureij refugee camp, adding to the war's toll on journalists, with at least 260 Palestinian journalists killed since October 2023 according to CPJ. The Israeli military says Wishah was a Hamas terrorist, a claim it has not publicly substantiated yet; Al Jazeera condemns the attack as a flagrant violation of international law. Wishah’s brother Mohammed was killed in April in a separate incident.
