In an exclusive Al Jazeera interview, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Strait of Hormuz will reopen one way or another after the war and warns Iran of real consequences if it continues to block the strait, signaling U.S. opposition to Tehran's claims.
Two Palestinian freelance journalists, Hamza Al-Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya, were killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza, with a third journalist wounded. Al Jazeera, for whom Al-Dahdouh had worked, condemned the attack as deliberate and called for accountability. The Israel Defence Forces have not commented on this specific incident but previously stated they do not target journalists intentionally. The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict has resulted in the deaths of numerous journalists, with the latest incident raising the Gaza government's count to 109 media workers killed.
Hamza al-Dahdouh, the son of Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief and an Al Jazeera journalist himself, was killed in an Israeli drone strike while reporting in a "humanitarian zone" in Gaza. The strike also killed freelance journalist Mustafa Thuraya and occurred despite the area having been designated for safety by the Israeli army. This incident adds to the previous loss experienced by the al-Dahdouh family, as four other family members were killed in an earlier strike. The Al Jazeera network broadcasted the aftermath of the attack and the emotional scene of Wael al-Dahdouh mourning his son. The IDF has been contacted for comment, and the death toll among journalists in Gaza has risen to over 75 since the conflict began.
