Two journalists killed in Israeli airstrike in Gaza

Gaza: Two journalists, including son of Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh, were killed in an Israeli strike in Khan Younis in Gaza on Sunday, the media reported.

The deceased were Mustafa Thuria, a video stringer for AFP news agency and Hamza Wael Dahdouh, a journalist with Al Jazeera television network.

They were killed when the car they were travelling in was hit by Israeli missile, according to Al Jazeera.

Wael al-Dahdouh, who is considered the face of Al Jazeera’s Gaza coverage by many across the Arab world, lost his wife, daughter, another son and a grandson after they were killed by an Israeli air strike in October, 2023.

In December, 2023, Wael was wounded by an Israeli strike that killed his colleague Samer Abudaqa.
