Two Al-Jazeera reporters were killed in an Israeli strike in northern Gaza on Wednesday, according to the satellite news network. The victims, 27-year-old correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul and cameraman Rami al-Rifi, were among the latest casualties in the war-torn enclave.
The reporters, along with an unidentified child, were traveling in a car in Gaza City when the blast struck, as reported by the Emergency and Ambulance Service. They had been covering stories at the Shati Refugee Camp, the birthplace of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was also recently killed.
Since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war in October of last year, 111 journalists have died, including 106 Palestinians. Al-Jazeera accused Israel of targeting its journalists, with calls from the UN for a thorough investigation and accountability. Meanwhile, Israel has closed Al-Jazeera offices in the country, citing security concerns.
